I was told they did not work, and since I work in a medical transcription setting on a very tightly locked up computer, I learned a long time go to use the ribbons if needed. It is not as hard as people make it out to be, I had been using them for at least a year or more before the Virtual Ribbon feature was introduced.

I do have this Win7 computer. This old version of word needs to be replaced because it is not saving properly and it's losing data in documents. I'm not sure which version uses Ribbons. But my question is, are a lot of you using Virtual Ribbons and is that helpful?
