Sherry, IMHO Microsoft made a bad mistake when it moved from the old "File, Edit, View" menu to the more modern ribbon and legacy appears to have jumped onto the same band wagon. I still use Office XP (Non Ribbon) even though I purchased Office 2007, which I hate. A lot of people still struggle with control of the mouse and prefer keyboard shortcuts - maybe it should be a priority to bring shortcuts back even if they key press has to be something different.
