That is one reason that it appealed to me. We don't have the new Office here actually so I've never used it in that context, only as part of MindMapper. One thing that strikes me negatively about it is the complex visual noise it can present. I like a clean interface myself. Our application is not going to be as complex as say a Word. I might be able to take some inspiration from the ribbon but come up with something more applicable to what we have. Thanks for your input!
