Side topic:

What is/was with Office 2007 ribbon thingy anyway?  It is disgusting!!  They should have made an option / menu to use the ribbon thingy OR to switch to <2003 version with the regular menus.  The ribbon just slowed me down, and was like I didn't know how to use a computer in the first place.  

I never use 2007> - it's vile.  I think it's only for those under 5s and over 80s.  The over 80s being some who may not have used a PC before, it may be logical.  Giving it to a child of 5 who's not used a PC before - it may be logical.

But someone who's been using a PC / Office for more than 10 years it's illogical.

I am late to this thread (and don't know if you are even monitoring it anymore), and am probably also telling you something you know by now.

But....

I use UBitMenu to get back the Classic Word Menu. Here is a link to it from PC World:

I'm pretty sure the ribbon was developed by the same people who developed the "Common Core" standards. Gotta keep them young'uns confused, you know! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc3Pv5Q_AdA
