Default Getting rid of the annoying Fluent interface

My first though after seeing the new "Fluent" interface in office 2007
is how i can turn it of. Af which point did drop-down menus become
unfasionable? Why do i need to the the options all the time? It takes
up valuable screen real-estate, especially on a wide-screen laptop
display. Please tell me there is a way to get office 2007 back to
"classic" mode.

Hi Jens,

To add to JoAnn's reply, you can reduce the ribbon height by double clicking the active tab or using Ctrl+F1. The MS documentation
on their decisions for the ribbon and its current configuration are available through

There are add-ins available but there's no "classic mode" built in.
