ToolbarToggle has created an add-in for Word, Excel and PowerPoint that
brings back the original Office 2003 menus and toolbars into Office 2007 for
less than $20.

Besides being able to customize and add unlimited toolbars and menu items,
ToolbarToggle allows the old style floating and docking anywhere. Through a
key press, you can turn the Ribbon on or off, turn the commandbars and menus
on or off as well REPLACE the Ribbon entirely.  ToolbarToggle even accepts
shortcut keys (Alt+F, Alt+E, etc..).

Please try the demo let us know if you feel this helps solve your problems.

You can download ToolbarToggle from:

Joanne,

This simply isn't true.  Just because you prefer the new interface doesn't
make a solution people are looking for "spam".

You should be reported - as a former MVP myself we helped lots of people
including referring software solutions.  

Last of all, if its on MS Office Download site its hardly spam.
va - 12 May 2008 00:16 GMT
In fact, what about all the other MVP's who have replied recommending our
software along with Patrick Schmid's Ribbon Customizer .. etc... - thats not
spam either.

Seriously - I think you are way off base and not helping the community with
options because you don't agree with them

I'm not an MVP. I too am offended that you're trying to use this
newsgroup to sell your product.
va - 12 May 2008 05:24 GMT
What a strong word - "offended".  I wasn't advertising freee watches, or
viagra or porn.  It was for a prooduct peoiple are need. So much so that oer
10k people have purchased it from us.  So if yu feel a need o chime in -
please - Why would you be offended?  

I am sure we can have a lot of opinions here and keep this ridiculous
commentary going but but out of curiosity, were you offended when other  
MVP's recommended ToolbarToggle and like products in this forum?  

DO a quick search before you answer...

I haven't seen any Viagra or porn spam here. The watch ads are
generated randomly and appear in any and all newsgroups. But a
targeted advertisement in a noncommercial newsgroup is a deliberate
act of uncivility.

I disagree. If JoAnn's going to report someone, it should be mxk, who keeps
periodically posting about Advanced Word Repair at
http://www.datanumen.com/awr/.

I'm not an MVP. I too am offended that you're trying to use this
newsgroup to sell your product.
Tony Jollans - 12 May 2008 11:18 GMT
Hmm...

I'm not sure that reposting a link is the best way to complain about it. And
the fact that there may be a worse offender is hardly a good defence.

Posts which are purely adverts would all seem, to me, to be inappropriate;
unfortunately, they seem to be getting much more common. Although it may be,
in some circumstances, worth saying "somebody else may be able to sell you a
solution", that is vastly different from saying "I can sell you a solution".

Enjoy,
Tony

I agree in general, but in this specific instance, when do we stop promoting
these add-ins? When Word 2007 first launched, many users were desperate for
a solution that would restore the look and feel of Word 2003. They were more
than happy to hear about ToolbarToggle, Ribbon Customizer, and other add-ins
that promised this, and we were doing them a favor by telling them about
them. If a user today asks for such a solution and none of us point him in
the right direction*, then I can't get too exercised when the author of one
of the add-ins takes up the slack.

*To my mind the best approach is a reference to
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CustomizeRibbon.htm, in which Word
MVP Bill Coan reviews both Ribbon Customizer and ToolbarToggle.
