Thats not true - THIS I SNOT SPAM.

Joanne,

just because you prefer the new interface doesn't make a solution people are
looking for "spam"

You should be reported - as a former MVP myself we helped lots of people
including referring softwqare solutions.

Last of all, if its on MS Office Download site its hardly spam.

In fact, what about all the other MVP's who have replied recommending our
software along with Patrick Schmid's Ribbon Customizer .. etc... - thats not
spam either.

Seriously - I think you are way off base and not helping the community with
options because you don't agree with them

Posting ads for your own product to multiple posts is spam.

In that case, your signature line is SPAM - you are pushing the book you
worked on.

I feel that your defintion of SPAM is not reasonable. If I had multiple
stand-alone posts just advertising - you'd be correct. But I didn't spray
every question blindly (which is what SPAM is) about the product. - I only
answered the ones (3 different ones exactly) where people were looking for a
solution and you telling tem just to use the "Ribbon" is not a solution.

And just for your own info, you are an MS Publisher MVP but I work with
Wallstreet on some pretty heavy BizTalk, C#, C++, SharePoint, Excel and Word
systems and that is another story. The Ribbon is killing their productivty
because of navigation - not unfamiliaraity. On the other side, highly
experienced and good temps are losing jobs because of the years they invested
in smart custom toolbars but now, overnight, must become proficient about
the ribbon which lacks a number of productivity features. Please reconsider
what SPAM is before accusing people of it.
