That emotigram is on the Tables ribbon. - Micah

I agree. The ribbon is such a huge step backwards. - Stephen Mack

Yep, customize toolbar is your friend. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Wordperfect ftw once again. - Friar Will

Cristo, "Office" is a collection of crap programs often used for glorified note taking that are forced upon innocent employees by "the man". Except for excel. Excel is a calculator. I love calculators. - Ross Miller

I gave up on searching for stuff on the ribbon. I just web search for it -- Word 2007 feature name -- and invariably there will be multiple threads with exactly that question (and answer). - bentley

Switching to 2010 somehow helped me - Peter Fedin

Oh, look...free, open source...and no ribbon! http://www.libreoffice.org - April Russo (FForever!)

Heh, April wins. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

What Microsoft has been doing for the last so many years seems like changing the UI of everything, just for the sake of change. And after so many years of everything being basically the same, and users getting used to doing things a certain way, expecting things in certain places, etc., all this change seems to do nothing but make all their users, that used to be productive experts in what they were doing, go back to being newbies. And it leaves people feeling frustrated and/or stupid. And nobody likes to feel stupid, especially when they are not. But this "I don't know what I am doing any more" effect then gets used as the excuse for more change, really bad changes, designed for the stupid and clueless that they think the majority of users are. Which just alienates their power users even more (and developers, too, when all the change breaks stuff with no hopes of ever being fixable). It's one of the reasons why even if I had the money to upgrade to the latest version of Windows, I wouldn't. I got very used to doing things a certain way using the classic Windows desktop that I have used from the very first day I booted up a Windows PC, and if I was to upgrade past XP I'd have to relearn things that have become instinct over the years. It's a real productivity killer, right up there with losing your keys somewhere in your house, when you have places to go and things that need to get done. Stability means a lot more than not crashing and THIS is something Microsoft seems to have forgotten. That said, I HATE that damn ribbon crap...and you will NEVER find it in any apps I develop, EVER! And I am seriously not only thinking of giving up developing apps for Windows, but also giving up using it at all. Just need a few more things to be able to make Linux feel like home, and some of them I can take with me and run under WINE while I wait, if I have to. (need replacements for Trout, Surfulater, Notezilla, and an app that can mimic the functionality of the classic Windows taskbar in ALL its glory) - April Russo (FForever!)
