Access 2007 Ribbon Interface

[Joshua A. Booker]

Hi There,

How do I minimize the ribbons in 2007?

I don't get how MS thinks this is a better UI.

In what way is it an improvement to have a toolbar 6 times bigger than it
needs to be?

Isn't there an auto-hide option? Or better yet how about 'classic toolbar'
scheme?

I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually, but right now it's just pissing me
off.

TIA,
Josh

I tried this code and it didn't work for some reason:

Application.CommandBars("Waste of Space").Visible = False

No really, Jeff Conrad answered this in a post called:

At least one person is 'impressed' with ribbons.

Just click on one of the ribbion tabs (make it selected)...then double
click....

Or click the arrow on the Quick Access Toolbar and select Minimize the Ribbon.

Thanks guys

I guess I can live with the minimize now that I know where it's hidden. So
much for ribbons being: 'a simpler system optimized for efficiency and
discoverability' as it's touted.

'Classic' toolbars option would have been nice.
