In moving from Excel 2010 to 2016, I noticed that the ribbons,tabs, and Quick Access toolbar take up more territory, about 3 rows worth on my laptop as shown on the attached screen shot. Is there any way to reclaim this territory?

Patch reliability is unclear, but widespread attacks make patching prudent. Go ahead and patch, but watch out for potential problems. |

AskWoody PlusFebruary 3, 2016 at 5:53 am #15502391. Set Quick-Access toolbar above ribbon
2. Minimize ribbonYou’ve touched a sore point with me. The ribbon is by far the STUPIDEST thing Microsoft ever did. I want toolbars I can control both their size and location. What a pain in the ass the ribbon is!!!!!
Thanks. I’d rather get used to a new QA location than lose the territory.
BTW, windows versions before XP and Windows 8 get my vote
