With Word 2007, Microsoft has jumped the shark.

I think the Word community, led by the MVPs--and I've seen several MVPs
openly express their unhappiness about 2007—needs to communicate with
Microsoft and tell them that Word 2007 is UNACCEPTABLE. Acting as a group
we need to ask MS, among other things, to restore basic features that have
been removed such as the Menu bar, the Toolbars, and custom menus and
toolbars; to give users the ability to opt out of the Ribbon (not just to
minimize it temporarily, but get rid of it); and to restore the ease of
accessibility of various important dialog boxes that have now been hidden
away in the most senseless locations.
