[AccessD] Convert 2007/2010 to 2003

And if you're like John... an accomplished keyboard user.
Ctrl-F1 will also minimize or maximize the ribbon.

Arthur, the folks that hate the ribbon are ... they're irate and they're 
very vocal. They maintain that because few people champion it that everyone 
hates it. I keep saying that's not exactly true. The people who have 
adjusted are just going about their work and they don't care about those 
conversations. :)

I might write about this, so thanks for the reminder. I've mentioned it on 
the blog before, but can't hurt to mention it again. Another good one is 
minimizing the ribbon -- that's one of the biggest complaints -- that the 
ribbon takes up so much room. A quick double-click to a tab minimizes and 
maximizes it. The ^ sign at the right border does the same thing. Kind of 
beats the drop and drag stuff anyday, but people like what they're use to. I

don't blame them for not being thrilled about the move to the ribbon, but 
... it is what it is. It's here, it's staying.
