Well, I'm just starting with it, and haven't had training, or time to read anything, but basically, you hit the ALT key, and you are presented with a row of buttons that you tab across, These buttons kind of represent what was on the old dropdown menus. You press the spacebar on a button, and you get another row of buttons with more options. There is an add-on that you can buy for $30, that will give you the classic dropdown menus. So far, with persistence, I have been able to use the ribbon. Also, there are keyboard commands that you can memorize and use to pretty much avoid the ribbon. Andy
