UBitMenu cans Ribbon in Office ‘07

Robert Hallock March 10, 2009 10:42 AM ET in Tech

Alright, so UBitMenu doesn’t completely kill Ribbon, but it does restore a vast majority of the functionality in the form of the Office 2003 UI that so many love.

This plugin is what convinced me to switch to Office 2007, so perhaps there are others who need the same kick in the pants.

   When I switched to 2007 I hated the ribbon. After using it for about a month, I found it much more useful and quicker than the old menu system ever was.

   Its helpful for those of us that spend a relatively trivial amount of time using Office 2007.

   Take myself, I have it, but I use it a cumulative total of once a month, if that. I don't spend enough work hours figuring out the nuances of the new toolbar. So this keeps my productivity up while still learning.

   I feel the same way. And with customizable quick launch bar it lets me be more efficient that I ever was with Office 2003.

   Oh, and the auto-formatting doesn't suck nearly as much anymore. It's actually pretty nice.
