AC 2007 Ribbon vs Custom Menu

[JamesJ]

I've been using AC 2007 for a while now and have found the ribbon
to be fine during design time but find no use for it during runtime.
I am aware that double-clicking a tab on the ribbon will minimize it,
but how or can one totally eliminate the ribbon at runtime and use my
custom menus that are now in Add-Ins of the ribbon??

Any help will be appreciated.

hit ctrl-g for the code editor, and then use help, and type in

hide the ribbon...you get an example of how to do this...

I also have a working sample here:
