Ubitmenu only includes old menus for Word, Excel, PowerPoint.
Classic Menu for Office 2007 of Addintools.com includes old menus for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access. It have more old commands of 2003 and more new commands of 2010. It is available to show/hide and old menus and ribbon tabs.

Ubit menu is awesome. Takes a second to download and 2 seconds to install. Best three seconds spent recently. It works in Word, Excel and Powerpoint.

Microsoft really stuffed up with the ribbon. Its one of the biggest mistakes they ever made, of course I am excluding Windows ME (Many Errors) and Vista. And not being able to customise the ribbon, thats an even bigger mistake.

Microsoft seem to have this habit of giving people what they think we want rather than what we do want.

They can put in the ribbon if they want, but leave the option there to have menus for the people who want them. In earlier versions of Word there was Wordperfect help and you could even change the screen to blue with white text. What about the people who have been using word for years?

I really hope that Office 2010 brings back the options for a customisable menu bar

I was so horrified by the ribbon – mostly its huge space robbing size – when I bought Office 2007 that I rushed it back to the store after one day and replaced it with an earlier version of the office suite knowing it would be my last purchase of MS OFFICE. When I read that someone had produced a classic menu I was really happy about it but now that I see what it is I am very disappointed. What is all that? SIX layers of bars and what? A frame? Wow. Does it leave any room at all to see what you are working on???

Will someone please explain to me Microsoft’s determination to take up every bit of working space it can? Worse yet – what Microsoft does, all other software makers blindly follow,making their applications as space destroying, tedious, and irritating as MS.

Scary.
