Making the biggest part of the interface non-customizable is an act of
astounding arrogance. As such, the condescending and arrogant attitude of the
MVPs on this forum should be no surprise - still I am shocked as I click on
each MVP post in these threads. "Moving forward," indeed.
What you really should have done, Microsoft, is to modify and rename the
whole templates idea, such as "invoice", "thank-you note", etc. What you
should do - I am sure it is coming in the next release - is to write the
content of all of our possible actual documents for us. Then we can choose
which one to use in our daily work. There's no need for "customization" -
because you smart guys have already figured out what is best for everyone!
Perhaps we could edit the text in the page margins - the equivalent of that
little "Quick Access Toolbar" that you let us customize.
McDonald's sells a lot of burgers; perhaps they have maximize all the
possible hamburger revenue out there. And ClearChannel makes money on radio.
But the undisputed fact remains that, considered solely on an objective
basis, McDonald's hamburgers and ClearChannel radio stations suck. (No
offense to the good people, particularly those in the legal profession, at
McDonald's and ClearChannel).
Please forgive the inclusion of another thread below ("Re: I hate the ribbon
-- bring the menus back!") in microsoft.public.office.misc , for example.

After furious head scratching, Nigel asked:
