    I hate it... Excel fills it's window title with a lot of functionality. Sometimes it becomes really hard to move an Excel Window :^)

    "The UI gets out of the way". "The user sees more of his content". If it's all the cost of moving more functions into the main window caption, it's not an improvement.

      I admit the change to the Ribbon interface all but killed my expertise in Office. The Ribbon is apparently the result of Microsoft Marketing conducting endless focus groups, but I think it violates common-sense rules of UI design. One such rule is that the interface shouldn't change, but the Ribbon changes according to the width of the application window.

      Someone tell that to web designers. Entire sections can disappear altogether based on available space.

        Keyboard controls should work, I believe. Alt + Spacebar -> Move and arrow keys.

        Excel isn't the only toolbar to disappear and it annoys me to no end. Yes the keys work, but that's a lot of key strokes and I am constantly moving windows around. I know, I'll use autohotkey to make the 'windows'key and arrows automatically move the current window in focus. I think the other combo's are taken. :laugh:

        Jack of all trades, master of none, though often times better than master of one.

          lets talk about Outlook. Ctrl-F in any other office app, in any browser in almost anything else is FIND! in outlook it is forward. Why the why?

          To err is human to really elephant it up you need a computer

            Agreed. And Teams has a weird color scheme that does not follow my prefs, so it is heard to find its title bar.
