Can I get menus in 2007

Is there any way to get a menu bar w/ word 2007?
I like 2007 but the choices in the tabs are not sufficient and I have to
fight to get the function I need.

thanks

john

Add what you want to the Quick Access Toolbar.

I love the QAT! My favorite tools are always one click away.

oh well

Not as convenient? How can something that is at the top of your app no
matter what you are doing not be convenient?

I just love it when someone asks a reasonable question and one of the
"literati", often one of the "MVPs", tells them that they don't need
or shouldn't want what they just asked for.

Don't you also just love it when someone posting under a clown's name
decides to chime in from time to time with nothing to offer but a cheap pot
shot at another contributor? I do.

The OP can downloaed the ClassicUI template he

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.

FWIW: To me, it is just one of the best features in Excel or Word. I use
those 2 programs the most.
I haven't gotten around to PowerPoint.
I like moving the quick access toolbar below the ribbon and being able to
move the icons to where I want them on the toolbar.
Yes, it is convenient.
Just a thought!!!!

AFAIWA the tabs contain ALL the Word functions. What can't you find?
