Hi J.P.,

Actually, no it isn't a simple thing to combine the two of them to the point where it was reliable on a large scale deployable basis
in the time frame allowed for delivering the product. Things can get somewhat more complex within each of the Office apps as they
are not coded to a common base, but to different feature sets and methods.

Why not give the user the capability to use the old menus or the ribbon? Like
you do in the operating systems (classic v.s. XP). Pretty simple, huh?
