RE: Excel 2007 Tips (New)
All of the Office 2007 products use the new interface, which I find extremely frustrating to use. Most of the features that are easily found are the ones I rarely (if ever) use. The ones that I do tend to use are buried out of sight.
But you can add your own buttons above the ribbon and arrange them to suit your own preferences. It's not as compact as working from menus, and icons aren't always the best answer for eyes that in my case have just entered their 7th decade of duty, but at least it lets you work around some of the "noise".

Version 2007 is a such a setback when most of us cannot handle 2003 anyway!
Bad move by Microsoft that will always confirm the engineer's scepticism of MS Office

Loosely related - it looks like there's a comparable product to "fix" Word 2007.

Why do we have to pay for this? Shouldn't this be a free add-on courtesy of MicroSoft?

I really don't understand why they couldn't have left the traditional menu arrangement available as a setup option. There was a huge installed base of customers who were long-accustomed to the menus. It wasn't broken, so it didn't need fixing. Should have let the newcomers to the product do the tinkering if they think it will help them or if an appearance change is all they're after.[/rant]

someone 'round said "better is the mortal enemy of good enough" ... some truth in that !
here we're on 2003 still (thank goodness by the sound of it), at home i've still got '97 (oh, and the ba$tard creation "works" ... ).
