Return to my previous version of Excel. HATE RIBBON!!!
I absolutely hate this new "RIBBON" in Excel '07. I am (or was) an
extremely proficient and speedy user of Excel. This RIBBON is horrible and I don't have the time or interest in learning to navigate around this RIBBON. I understand from the help file there is no way to remove the ribbon or display in a "Classic" format. Is there an easy way to "CONVERT BACK" to my previous version of Excel? |

Hi kboehringer
I absolutely hate this new "RIBBON" in Excel '07. I am (or was) an extremely proficient and speedy user of Excel. This RIBBON is horrible and I don't have the time or interest in learning to navigate around this RIBBON. Why do you upgrade ? The ribbon is the result form all feedback MS received and it is not bad at all. I understand from the help file there is no way to remove the ribbon or display in a "Classic" format. Is there an easy way to "CONVERT BACK" to my previous version of Excel? Only with a third party add-in But my advise is not to use a add-in like this. Maybe this page will help you to find the commands http://www.rondebruin.nl/0307commands.htm -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "kboehringer" wrote in message ...

Uninstall 2007 then re-install 2003
Alternative.................... You can get a "classic" look and feel from this application found at http://www.addintools.com/english/menuexcel/ Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Sat, 23 Aug 2008 13:06:01 -0700, kboehringer wrote: I absolutely hate this new "RIBBON" in Excel '07.

2007 version has so many good things that it is not wise to giveup just to
avoid the learning curve... You may try free add-in http://downloads.zdnet.com/abstract.aspx?docid=285017. I would suggest that you accept the new ribbon and work with it. You can quickly add your favourite icons to quick access toolbar. Also if you working in a non-commercial environment then try ASAP utilities (http://www.asap-utilities.com/downlo...-utilities.php) "kboehringer" wrote: I absolutely hate this new "RIBBON" in Excel '07.

Return to my previous version of Excel. HATE RIBBON!!!
Gentlemen,
Thank you very much for the responses. I didn't realize the interface was SO different in the new version. I purchased Home & Student (3-License) for my daughter's new computer. I figured I'd upgrade my desktop since I had a couple extra "Free" upgrades. Unfortunately, I have some serious deadlines on some big projects and can't make any progress seaching all over for items I use to be able to find in a fraction of a second. I'm going to go hunting around my desk & files for the original software disks and serial codes from my original Excel version(s). Once found, I'll just remove this new version and re-install my original. Obviously, there are others like me that don't care for it, enough so that add-ins (or extensions) are being created to circumvent the new and "Improved" features I hold a MOUS Expert Certificate in EVERY MSOffice Application (Earlier Versions) and I sure wish Microsoft had provided a "Classic Look" option. Thank you again very much.... Sincerely, Kurt Boehringer "Ron de Bruin" wrote: Hi kboehringer I absolutely hate this new "RIBBON" in Excel '07.

As suggested try out ASAP Utilities to help complete your projects. With or
without it will save you hours of effort and is worth the price. Try it out. (I do not get any incentive to plug it but I am a great fan anyway) "kboehringer" wrote: Gentlemen, Thank you very much for the responses.

The other option you have is to reinstall 2003 and then install 2007 again
but choose the custom install option and DO NOT upgrade. This gives you the best of both worlds with the option to work with 2003 when you want, yet delve into 2007 as you wish. I have all versions of Excel from 97 onwards on my machine, but you must install them in order. Regards Ken....................... "kboehringer" wrote in message ...

Or someone that supports people with different versions of Excel, and as
such the only surefire way of replicating some problems, or indeed checking that code runs correctly, is in fact to run it on the exact same version of Excel as they are. Sounds like pure common sense to me. Regards Ken............................ "Elmtree via OfficeKB.com" <u45848@uwe wrote in message news:8985f7a311a62@uwe...
