> "translates as "we don't care, we do what we like" Re: No doubt Microsoft's response will be the same as usual. It's kind of like designing a car range so that every model has a tow bar and a roof rack, but you can only use reverse by getting out and manually rotating the wheels In fact so much of Microsoft's changes seem to be around making it harder to use the products the way you need to. Involving, in effect, creating a whole new menu that includes any stuff you might need that's already available in the original menu, but excluding the stuff you want to remove, and anything you want to add. But the Ribbon is essentially not that different from the old menu system, except it's harder to find stuff you only use from time to time and near impossible to create a customised version of what there is by removing the unwanted stuff and adding related (in your context) needed stuff. So the Edit menu would have all the tools they would use to create a report, structure it and er edit it. And removed stuff that would slow down their finding what they needed (Pretty basic components mostly). I used to modify the WORD menus, so that they contained items that went together for my teams. Particularly when the stuff is imposed on users without any option whether to adopt it or not, whether it's helping those users do their work. The question this begs is why that stuff. They'd be out of a job if they weren't doing stuff. And let's not forget the army of staff making these changes.
