Hi Gang:

I've finally got a new computer (well, new to me at any rate(.The system is running Windows 7, which is a nice step up from XP, and inclues Office 2013.

My question is, is there any way to get the classic menues back for Office? Aside from me being more comfortable with them over the ribbon, my screen reader deals with menues better than a ribbon... and to be honest, I just hate the thing.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Yes, I really am blind.

There are a bunch of for-pay options to replace the ribbon with the classical menu-driven UI. I am reluctant to offer any links, though, as I have not vetted them myself for safety or usability.

Thanks all the same. I'll have to go looking for something then. My screen reader is suppose to have an option, but it doesn't work... surprise. lol

I know of one, but it's something like $40 and I was hoping for another option.

I have not heard of menu-driven Office being a thing since before the release of Office 2007.  :(
