Hi Ron,

I have the same problem, but I use Excel for 90% of my work as a credit
controller and find it extremely frustatrating that a so-called "upgrade"
now
requires an additional step to achieve a function that was simpler under
the
previous version. How do I make the Home ribbon a permanent fixture, so
that
if I click on another tab (such as "DataText to columns") it will revert
to
the Home ribbon WITHOUT me needing to keep adding a step into the process?

In Excel 2002, I could click on DataText to columns and having performed
the function, the drop down menu would automatically disappear. So how do
I
achieve the same simplicity in 2007?

The answer is to put all your frequently-used commands on the QAT (Quick
Access Toolbar) and then you can minimize the ribbon completely...
