Title: Is there any way to make Mac Office 2008 a bit more usable?

I hate how everything is tucked in that stupid menu bar. I just want wrapping in my cell! GODDAMNIT. I miss the ribbon already.

Does it have menus?  Someone in our office got a new computer (Windows) with the new MSOffice on it and it's horrifying!  Where the FUCK are the menus?

Even the simplest of tasks has me totally and utterly stumped.  It took me half an hour just to figure out how to access the options.  It's insane.  We still don't know how to insert a copied row in Excel.

Im fine with the ribbon, Mac Office 08 is kinda baffling when it comes to finding tools

Yeah, it distinguished mentally-challenged.  I'm a mac user, too.  They basically are going the Adobe route with all the floating palettes.  You will need to use the palettes basically.

So this new-fangled thing is called the ribbon eh?

I think I just found something I can add to the "Let the hate flow" thread.
