ZZOOzzoo Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 While I'm very excited about the whole interface overhaul in the upcoming version of Office, I can't understand what SPECIFIC advantage the new interface provides. I did some searching and the only information I got was that "hidden features can be more easily accessed," which really doesn't fulfill my curiosity. Can anyone explain how the ribbon interface in Office12 will actually work and what kind of productivity improvement it will offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcv Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Instead of all the features being accessible in 2 different places (menus, toolbars), they are now accessible in only one place. Instead of trying to clutter all the buttons into the toolbars with small unhelpful icons and menus on top of that, there are grouped tabs (ribbons) with a smaller set of options, so it's less confusing visually and easier to find what you need. I think to apperciate it, you'll have to sit down and use it for for an hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
