I never really minded the ribbon interface,
I did not see why the quick access toolbar did not have a option to increase it's size :/
To see what commands are available?
The menus showed the main commands available in the program (even if they were unavailable in the current file).
Under the drop-down menu paradigm, the first thing I'd do when I installed a new program was to take a glance at what commands were available in the menus.
If you wanted to:
- Open/Save a file you'd go to the File menu.
- Find out the program version you'd go to "Help > About".
It would work with any program that used that model (and most programs I used did).
MS excel at hiding options in (apparently) random locations.
There are at least 4 hidden Ribbons in Word (not counting the one you have to enable in the options).
The "Customize Ribbon" section in Word 2010, indicates that there are a bunch of Main Ribbons that I've never seen outside of this window.
There are quite a few Context Ribbons (called Tool Tabs apparently).
Ironically, I've always thought that WMP12 would've been better with a Ribbon, rather than the multi-screen horror it came with.
I don't think anybody can win this discussion. It is like between people who like beer and others who like wine.
That is assuming a user has never used the same process
Adding repetitive commands to the Quick access toolbar is as the name insists![]()
