Add what you want to the Quick Access Toolbar.

Not as convenient? How can something that is at the top of your app no
matter what you are doing not be convenient? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "John Coltrane" wrote in message ...

See http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Customize_Ribbon.htm
or Google for Classic Menus in Office 2007 and you will get links to a number of third party add-ins. Given a bit more time, like most of us who hated the Ribbon at first, you will come to accept it. -- Hope this helps.

Actually, there are many commands not available in the ribbon. In the
Customize section of the Word Options dialog box, you'll find a separate category for "Commands Not in the Ribbon." To be fair, the same was true for the main menus of previous versions: they didn't have room for all of Word's commands either. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Gordon" wrote in message ...

Can I get menus in 2007
Part of the reason put forward in the introduction of the Ribbon was to
expose commands to users. But there are far too many commands for them all to be 'exposed' and depending on the users, different commands have a different level of importance. Supposedly, the commands 'exposed' on the Ribbon are those commands that the test labs found that users used the most. If this is really true, it's a sad testament. I would understand if these were just exposed in 'LEARNER' mode, but anyone with more than a year or two's experience should be using the context sensitive (right-click) menus and their own toolbars. There are still so many useful commands hidden in depths of Word. I remember once struggling to create a macro to add ParaPageBreakBefore, shortly after I found that command was already listed deep in the bowels of 'All Commands' in Word 2000. The last time I really looked at the commands list was in Word 2003, when I think I printed out 4 pages of 'All Commands', many of which I still don't know their function! But how many users know about those really useful little commands such as 'Go to TOC', the almost lost 'NEW' dialog, CloseAll (which used to be a simple Shift+Close), TableUpdateAutoFormat (that actually clears all formatting from a table) and the myriad of other commands to make editing fast and easy before the need to resort to macros. They are all still hidden away, sometimes labelled with incomprehensible jargon Terry Farrell "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... Actually, there are many commands not available in the ribbon.
