Back to the good old layout: changing the Microsoft Office 2007 Windows structure

Are you also annoyed by the new version of Office? Lost in the new menu structure. Although one can certainly argue that the old Office had its flaws, at least the menu structure had a certain logic. Things like copy and paste could be found in the Edit menu, cell formatting in the Format menu, most things made sense. And time had taught me where everything else was. However, it was apparently deemed necessary to modernise. So, copy and paste operations disappeared to the Home menu (why?) and I have never really remembered where the cell formatting options went. Luckily, I am not the only one baffled, and clever people have created an add-in to reorganise the menus into the way it used to be. There is the "Classic Menu Manager", easy-to-use and install, but unfortunately not free (trial is free though).

An alternative that appears to be free is "UbitMenu". I am trying it out now and will keep you posted on my experience...
