• Office 2007 menus – useful (if retro)

    Posted on April 16, 2007 at 11:43 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    I’ve only played with it for a bit, but at first blush it’s very impressive.

    Classic Menu for Office 2007 sticks old-fashioned Office 2003-style menus in the %$#@! confusing Office 2007 ribbon. More accurately, this Office add-in puts a tab on the Word 2007, Excel 2007, and PowerPoint 2007 ribbons. That tab includes the old-fashioned menus, with updates for several new Office 2007 features. If you want to click File | Open, just click the Menus tab, then click File | Open, the way the Windows Gods intended.

    The product comes from a company I’ve never heard of, called Addintools. According to PC World, Addintools is located in Hai Nan, China. (Hai Nan is an island province not far from Hong Kong and Macau.)

    If you’re struggling with the new-fangled ribbons and your fingers still want to click on real menus, check out the Addintools web site. It’ll bring tears to your eyes.

    Download the 15-day trial. If you like it, pony up US $29.95 for a license.

    Now, would somebody puh-lease tell me why Microsoft didn’t include something similar in Office 2007? What – they ran out of money? Or time? It only took ’em five years…
