Default Office 2007 Ribbon Mouseover

I would like to be able to leave the ribbon minimized and only show it on
mouseover, rather than clicking on the name. Is this possible?

Default Office 2007 Ribbon Mouseover

Thanks for the reply, but that's not what I'm after. I have the ribbon
minimized already. I want to be able to simply hover the mouse over the
specific tab (ie Home or Insert) and have the ribbon appear, rather than
actually having to click on the menu title. Trivial, sure, but a preference
I would like to have. Perhaps something along the lines of RibbonCustomizer
could make this work.

Possibly some ribbon customizer could make this work, but it's more likely
the functionality would need to be built into Office apps themselves, and it
isn't at the moment.

There is a tool called Ribbon Clicker that claims to do this:

I don't know how well it works, as I haven't had a chance to try it out
yet.
