3rd party add ins for XL 07
Is anyone aware of any upcoming 3rd party add ins for XL 07 which replicate
the menu structure of earlier versions? I imagine such an add in would be rather popular given that its clunky UI takes up a lot of precious screen real estate, especially on laptops. Curious what others have heard/know about. Thanks, Dave -- A hint to posters: Specific, detailed questions are more likely to be answered than questions that provide no detail about your problem. |

Seems to me that I've read somewhere (?) that someone (?) has done something
like that. Here's an idea I think that someone could make happen rather "easily": Make the ribbon hide like the Windows task bar. A mouse over makes it appear and moving the mouse away makes it disappear. Biff "Dave F" wrote in message ...

Well, you can hide the ribbon. I have it set up that way now. But I still
think menus are better. (To hide the ribbon, show the Quick Access Toolbar, and select "minimize ribbon." Now, how do you show the QAT? Beats me. But I got it showing.)

Hi Gary/Roger
I have add a workbook to my site to create a custom ribbon. I think it is useful ? http://www.rondebruin.nl/ribbon.htm Let me know what you think of it. There is also a link to Patrick Schmid's site Patrick build a add-in. -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "Roger Govier" wrote in message ...

Thanks to all. It sounds like lots of other people are thinking along the
same lines as me. Fortunately, those people are smarter than I and can actually do something about this.

Hi Ron
Good to "speak" again after such a long while!! I did download the first file you put up and had a few difficulties - but that was just after I had installed XL2007. I haven't had time to do anything about it since. I will download your new files and give it a try as soon as I am able, and will get back to you. -- Regards Roger Govier "Ron de Bruin" wrote in message ...
