Give
Them Back!
I've been asked
several times about MS Office 2007 and its missing menus. Many people
were happy with the menu system previous Office versions used and
are looking to get that back.
But I have some
bad news for you. According to my Office 2007 help, there's no way
to switch back to the menus. For now, you're stuck with the ribbons.
In related comments,
I've seen that people are upset with the ribbons using too much of
their screen space, which obviously minimizes what you can see in
your documents, workbooks and presentations.
Now, that's something
I can help you with!
If you right
click over the ribbons, you'll see the following choices:
Choose Minimize
the Ribbon from the list.
You'll immediately
notice a difference.
The ribbons are
now "put away," leaving just their names visible and increasing
your work space. (To reverse this, simply right click and select Minimize
the Ribbon once again).
If you need something,
just click a ribbon name and it will be opened over
your document, allowing you to make your choice.
When you're finished,
the ribbon will disappear again, leaving you to continue on your merry
way!
