>>>...I'm wondering when the idiots behind the ribbon fiasco in Office will finally get the fact that a LOT of people DON"T have 2400x1600 screens, including millions of notebook users ...will it be before or after a critical mass decide to move beyond Office? ROTFL! William... what you don't like the fact that all of your applications suddenly have vertical sliders because the ribbon is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more important than your actual APPLICATION? I mean... the ribbon IS the application right? All that fun stuff that the user of the application has no business ever doing IS THE APPLICATION RIGHT? Get with the program man! REDESIGN all of your applications to give Microsoft their silly ribbon! And then inform your users (politely) that if you ever catch them using any of that stuff they aren't supposed to even have access to that you will cut off the hand at the wrist, with a white hot sword (cauterizes the wound and stops the bleeding). Who are we to tell the 800 pound gorilla that they can't mutilate millions of existing applications? Far far better to mutilate our users IMHO. John W. Colby www.ColbyConsulting.com
