Replacing the Microsoft Office "Ribbon" With a Menu

November 7, 2010 2:20 PM

Microsoft Office 2007 filter: Can you recommend a program/plugin (or the like) which will replace the "ribbon" interface with a traditional menu interface? Free is ideal, but for-pay is okay, too. Running Windows XP. Thanks.

Here is the search command feature here in case your ribbon substitute does not satisfy I found this very helpful in working with the ribbon.

This one saved my life ( and gave me serious geek cred at the office)

The starter edition is free and has the 'classic ui' feature that will add a classic menu to the current ribbon.
It is awesome.

The book "Excel 2007 for Dummies" has a section on how to customize Excel 2007 to look and act like Excel 2003.
