Re: Return classic menus as an option in Office.

Not going to happen - and Office 14 will have even more functional ribbons. Stick with what you like.

| No reason that classic menus can't be supported in Office. How MSFT

| AND ACTUALLY PREFER IT is beyond me. It's a simple matter to support
| the old menus AND their shortcuts. The growing number of add-ins
| offered by third-parties is a testament to market demand. The problem
| is, these are NOT a workable solution. They still require extra
| clicks, extra work, and they don't support shortcuts. Please, please,
| please ... add this capability to Office ASAP, preferably in the
| first SP. Great software isn't rigid and dictatorial. It's fluid and
| flexible, and doesn't alienate the base in the quest for easeier
| novice access.
