I have searched the site and probably wasn't using the right terms so only
found one thing about this: I have been using Excel 2007 and office for a few
months now. The menu is almost worthless and I am about ready to move to an
open source product. Is it possible to convert the excel menus to the classic
style with text selections and a logical progression of selections? The icons
are slow, need to be mentally converted before using, take up too much room,
are not clear at all and add a level of irritation to using Office products
that just doesn't need to be there. I am sure MS thinks they tested this
before marketing it, but I know of no one that is comfortable or wants to
continue using new Office products because of the menu problems. Just because
something looks cool doesn't mean it works. How do I fix this? Does MS have a
patch? Thanks!

You are not alone, there are some people that like it but most people I
heard are quite negative

have info on how to customize

there are some add-ins that will make it look the old way

but it sort of defeats the purpose
