How to Use Office 2007 without the Ribbon Menu

I was using MS Office 2003 before shifting to Office 2007, which I was not so comfortable with the ribbon-style menu. So, I googled for some answers on how to work in Office 2007 without the ribbon menu.

Follow this steps if you want to try it:

1. Open MS Word 2007.
2. Right-click the toolbar and click the ‘Minimize the Ribbon’.

   

3. The ribbon menu is minimized.  Now, click ‘Add to Quick Access Toolbar’ or if you already have it there click ‘Customize Quick Access Toolbar’ instead. Select all appropriate menus you wish to show.
