Hi,
How do I customise the menus to only a list of words instead of these
colourful icons. They take a lot of space and I can't find any of the
commands.
This makes me lose a lot of time not mentionning the stress levels rising.
Colourful icons are cute but not very useful to the professionals, you might
want to think of developing a junior and a professional version for each of
your program.
Eventually, have people testing the "ribbons" ... and what was wrong with
the word "menu"

Thanks

WELCOME TO THE RIBBON HELL! I hate that thing.

Apparently, efficiency was the last thing on M$'s mind while "improving" the
office. I have no idea why they made such radical change to the interface.
It's NOT like people hated the good old customizable menus!!!!!

To answer your question, there is no way to show text-only buttons. In fact
the ONLY thing you could do to that big ugly ribbon is to minimize it, and
try to imagine that it doesn't exist!@ There is absolutely no way to
customize it.

The only thing you can customize is the Quick Access Toolbar which is just a
single-line toolbar where you can add/remove buttons.
