Is there a way to customize the "Ribbon" in Office 2007 Programs?

No, you cannot customize the Ribbon. The only customizing you can do is add
icons to the quick launch toolbar. You can move this toolbar below the
ribbon, but that't it!

that depends on how involved you want to get - you can check Microsofts site

No.
But there is a Ribbon Customizer add-in that you might find useful.

Good Luck is right! Yuck. MS has made Office friendly if you don't know
what you're doing, and a mess for regular users. I see my "Quick Access
Toolbar" getting very long, since I deal a lot with forms and controls, and
you can't get to those from the Ribbon. Thanks Microsoft.

Thanks Microsoft.
FWIW, you may be able to adapt the technique mentioned in
http://www.dailydoseofexcel.com/archives/2007/01/20/excel-2007-menu/
to provide Office 2003-like menus in the Office 2007 QAT. Microsoft
could have thought of (and probably did think of) doing something like
this, but there's little doubt the more senior managers nixed the idea
in order to make it much more difficult for the competition, such as
it is.

Forms & controls? Are you displaying the Developer tab? If not, check
that option in Popular settings of the Office app options.
If you don't want to deal with RibbonX, then take a look at my add-in:

I just wanted to say to Patrick Schmidt... THANK YOU for this add-in! It's
brilliant!

(I can't believe Microsoft decided its users wouldn't want to customize
their ribbon... kudos to you, Patrick, for figuring out right away that this
was the worst change they made!)
