UBitMenu cans Ribbon in Office ’07

Robert Hallock 10 Mar, 2009 at 10:42am ET Article published 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.

   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.
