The add-in everyone has been waiting for- Having used Office for 10+ years it has been very frustrating getting used to the new ribbon in Office 2007. In fact if your like most people you have both Office 2003 and Office 2007 installed side by side just in case. Many times I’ve jumped over to Excel 2003 to crunch some spreadsheets in record time frustrated with not knowing where anything is in Excel 2007 This is the tool Microsoft should of hidden somewhere in Office 2007.

This tool allows the ability to customize the existing ribbon in the Office 2007 applications- Access, Excel, Outlook, Powerpoint and Word. Put what you want where you want it on the ribbon and the greatest feature the Classic UI tabs (the old Office 2003 menus) for Excel, Powerpoint and Word 2007!!!

Add-in Lets You Customize The Office 2007 Ribbon

RibbonCustomizer is a very useful add-in for Microsoft Office 2007 which lets you customize the Ribbon interface in Excel, Powerpoint and Word 2007. In the professional edition, which costs $29.99, you can customize individual commands, create new Ribbon tabs and populate them any way you want, create and share customizations, remove and re-order groups in Ribbon tabs, re-order and remove tabs, pretty much anything you want to change.

The free version includes less features, but it does share one feature with the Pro version that might make it all worth it for you: The Classic UI tab. This adds a tab to your Ribbon that has file menus and toolbars, just like the old versions of Office did. You can use this for free to help someone get used to the new interface, by switching back and forth between new and old, until you are ready to use the new one. That feature alone makes this worth installing.
