I personally hated the ribbon in Excel, not least because it resulted in changes to all the shortcut keys. That killed productivity significantly for me and my colleagues on my trading desk. We got used to it eventually, but it was not fun in the slightest.
- andylynch 7y agoThe shortcut keys from older versions of Excel still work. The new ones are easy to find too (hit Alt and they appear, but you can type ahead full speed)
- osrec 7y agoUnfortunately, not all of them (especially if you're doing some complex pastes with transpose etc etc).
- miffy900 7y agoOne really positive thing about the Ribbon was that it exposed every command in a Microsoft Office program to a keyboard shortcut. Yes, in earlier versions, most had a keyboard shortcut, but some commands only appeared in toolbars that only showed in certain situations and were never mapped to a keyboard stroke. Now in the ribbon, every button that you can see has a keyboard shortcut.
