In Office 2010 you can now customise the Ribbon rather than putting up with the way that Microsoft wants it. Click on the File button, Options and then on Customize Ribbon in the left-hand column. Click on New Group button at the bottom right and then Rename. Enter a name and click on OK. You can now drag and drop icons from the left-hand column into the new custom group. One useful group in the ‘Choose commands from' list is commands not in the Ribbon. I found it helpful to move the new group to the top of the Home tab. Left-Click on it once and then click on the up arrow to the right repeatedly until it is at the top of the tab. Click on OK to save the changes and your new group will appear in the Ribbon. This came from ComputerActive, a great fortnightly magazine. Quite cheap too. Does mainly Windows but has Mac, Linux, tablet & smartphone stuff. Hope this might help, -- Chris Newman
