I have to vent about how much I hate the new toolbar set up in MS Office 2007. Had I known how unfriendly the new set up would be, I wouldn't have gotten MS Office 2007 added to my laptop when I bought it and would instead have loaded the 2003 programs from the CD-ROM that I have. That would have saved me $150 on the cost of the laptop.
MS Office is now set up with a "ribbon" of tools. You click on the headings to get to each set of tools, and it doesn't let you customize each set (why, I don't know). If you want tools that aren't showing, you have to click on a box in the lower corner of each set to get to the rest of the tools. This means you spend a hell of a lot more time clicking toolbars in this version of Office than in previous versions.
After several months of trying to get around in the new versions of the Office programs, I've officially decided that I hate them and that it was a waste of money. There is salvation, however. Some nice person created ToolbarToggle, which inserts the more familar toolbar into the 2007 programs. You can even try it out before you buy it. I highly recommend it.
