Word 2007 is an absolute disappointment for this power user. You have
removed the most useful tools for customization: (a) floating toolbars, and
(b) fully customizable icons. Here are two other people whose feelings are
nearly identical to mine:

"I like Word 2007 not. MY productivity has crashed. My clients expect
quick turnaround on their work, but operations now take me twice as
long."

"Trying to use it is eating into my time with my family. I have to make
two or more mouse clicks to attain functios I used to with a single
click. Ribbons disappear when I need them, just because I move the
cursor outside some region in the document. I cannot create custom
toolbars to remain in sight at all times. I can't insert formatting and
other functions into the toolbars in a logical position. I cannot dock
toolbars to the side or the bottom, or have them float I am forced to
add operations to this "quick access" toolbar...which now holds
everything possible because I need the operations handy. I even bought
the addin tool to give me back my menus and such, but my ability to
keep my work on pace has been eroded considerably."

"I just got Office 2007 and I want to cry. I used to have several
custom toolbars for my Macros (about 30 macros on 3 different
toolbars). Now I only have the Quick Access toolbar and there is no way
to tell which macro is which without hovering over the button. On the
toolbar, I could use text, but that doesn't seem to be an option now.
Plus, I don't want to have to put all 30 macros on the Quick Access
Toolbar. Is there anything I am missing here?"
