$ REWARD OFFERED $ for answer
I will transfer $1 into the Paypal account of the first person who has an
answer (that works) to the following: We unfortunately recently downgraded from Office XP to Office 2007. While typing documents and emails, we get red, blue, and green squiggly lines under misspelled words, grammatical errors, abbreviations, acronyms, etc etc etc all over the document. How in the world can we turn this off, permanently, in all the Office apps? Bonus question: The new ribbon feature in Office 2007 is undoubtably an abysmal, space-wasting, user-hostile impediment to productivity. What was Microsoft thinking when they put it in and have the ribbon developers been punished? |

LOL! I know how you feel re the Ribbon. So as to what MS was thinking, here's
a link to Jensen Harris' blog. He led the team that designed the Ribbon UI and decided not to provide a classic UI alternative. You can read the whole sordid saga on his blog. http://blogs.msdn.com/jensenh/ hth! -- Gemini "pfkorman" wrote: I will transfer $1 into the Paypal account of the first person who has an answer (that works) to the following: We unfortunately recently downgraded from Office XP to Office 2007.
