How to get office menu bar back and get rid of ribbon in office 2010

[potterfan1234]

Just started working with the new office 2010 version. I enjoy and like the newer version of office 2010 but the ribbon thing is not pretty good. As i had to search for the mouse pointer every now and then in order to switch the ribbon views instead i would love to get the office menu bar which i was using in Office 2007. The Graphical user interface is a good one but it forces me to interpret icons repeatedly. instead of this ribbon i want to concentrate on my documents. Please tell me a way with the help of which i can get the office menu bar back and remove the office 2010 Ribbon.

Well so far its not possible to get this problem fixed because this issue needs to open a case with Microsoft Support since this features requires a design change. So i would advice you to either open up a case or simply wait till Microsoft releases a product update which will provide you this feature. The Developers at Microsoft are constantly trying their level best to satisfy the needs of their customers hope that they should work on this issue and soon you will get a new product update or at least some help.

yeah the Ribbon in the office 2010 is quiet annoying since it requires us to search for the mouse every now and then instead what we use to do in office 2007. So here i am glad that i am not the only one who is facing this problem. As the Menu bar which we were using in Microsoft office has now became standard and removing it from the newer version of office 2010 is really shocking. Hope Microsoft will include this in future Microsoft Products.
