You've hit on the biggest area of debate... you know you can add icons to
the QAT? (Quick access toolbar), via Office ButtonExcel
OptionsCustomization

Unfortunately, there is no and will be no 'classic' view.

In some defence and mitigation, XL4 had two toolbars, XL2003 had 32! so it
was rare that any user knew they existed. The idea of this release is to
make the production of neat looking documents quick and efficient

Whether they have achieved this...time and users will tell

Now maybe I am being old fashioned, but I prefer a textual view of the
menus.
I don't need more wasted space on my monitor, not everyone has a 19-25"
monitor.
Could you inclue an option for normal menus like on XP where yoou can have
classic view or the new view?
In time I might find the things I am looking for, but who has time to do
that when you need to get work done?
Lastly, the mini toolbar is a great option, mostly because anything can go
on it.
But all I want is a long mini tool bar with the items I use, which is how
I
used to have my other programs set up.
Forcing users to follow the Microsoft shortcut is not very nice or fair.
We
each have our own shortcuts, we should be able to use them or create them.
Thank you,
