Classic Excel Menus in Excel 2007

Excel 2007 is a fantastic new version of Excel, but the #1 complaint that I hear is people fear the learning curve with the new Ribbon interface.



Here is a company who has solved the problem. Their add-in is free to try, $15.99 to buy and brings back a great replica of the Excel 2003 menu bar, the standard toolbar, and the formatting toolbar. The classic menu shows up as a "Menu" tab on the Excel 2007 ribbon. You can control if this tab appears first or last.


If you were hesitant about upgrading to Excel 2007 because of the learning curve required, this add-in solves the problem!
