| 1363921 | 2013-12-31 01:41:00 | The ribbon is OK once you can figure out where some bright spark in MS decided to move tasks :D Yeah, that was my problem, figuring out what the logic behind it all was. I came to the conclusion it was change for the sake of change, with someone in M$ fixing something that wasn't broken and justifying their employment, a condition that's rampant in the IT industry. Thanks WT, I installed the program to change the 2007 menu back to 2003. Great stuff! :clap:clap:clap How to bring back the old menus in 2007 (www.howtogeek.com) :) |

| 1363923 | 2014-01-01 00:19:00 | I think the OP has hit on a particularly irritating/illogical placement of a feature. I've just been through exactly the same process of trying to change table to text and had to resort to Google as well. In general though I think the ribbon is OK once you get used to it. There are definitely some improvements that could be made to the placement of stuff. A major improvement would be to make it customisable, so you could create new tabs or rearrange existing ones. | Tony (4941) | ||

| 1363926 | 2014-01-01 04:43:00 | Oh, really? I must fire up my copy of Word 2010 and start playing! Yup :) I've got Office 2013 but I'm assuming it'll work the same; right-click any tab on the ribbon and select Customise, and you can change pretty much everything :) (it's also exportable) |

| 1363928 | 2014-01-01 17:49:00 | Being able to customise it and export it does not fix the basic problem with the Ribbon ! People can never find what they want quickly! |
