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?

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
