My major objection tothe ribbon was the waste space it created at the top
of my docs. I tried to move it to the side ... but no, we can't even move
it where we want it. Inconceivable !
Yeah.., that's one peeve of mine too! Albert has the right idea, but
use a userform set up to mimic a floating toolbar with all the old
menus on it!<g>
I was so peeved with the Ribbon concept that I bought Spread.ocx from
FarPoint so I could make my own spreadsheet apps using VB6. I was able
to duplicate all my Excel addins as stand-alone EXEs, but after Ron
deBruin released his Ribbon code I reverted back to Excel addins
because that's what clients wanted. Now, I lock it down so only my
menus/tabs are accessible since most of my stuff is task-oriented,
user-specific utilities that pretty much work like stand-alone apps
anyway.
