Word 2007 stupid ribbon sucks. How do I set up toolbars?

[Guest]

the ribbon is difficult to manage and takes time. How do I set up customized
toolbars like I had in the earlier versions and get rid of all the crap I
don't use?

Debbie,
The only toolbar you have is the QAT next to the Office button. You can
customize that one.
If you created a custom toolbar in a template from Word 2002/2002 and load
that template in Word 2007 the toolbar will appear in the Add-In tab on the
ribbon. You can then right click it there and add it to the QAT. This is
from memory so forgive me if I am wrong, can't test it here.

Many users are able to put most of what they use onto the Quick Access
Toolbar, then use Ctrl+F1 to toggle the ribbon off/on as needed.

The following article shows how to make the QAT resemble Word 2003's
Formatting toolbar (at least, for starters):

I have the same problem...my hand hurts from clicking from tab to tab.
I found this add in so you can either replace the ribbon with the 2003
version or pay $30 so you can customize the ribbon. I'm downloading the free
one and will stick with the 2003 version until Microsoft fixes the
uncustomizable ribbon that is stupid and sucks.
