Well, either I deleted it by mistake early on, or some gremlin stole it.

Since I only stumbled across the QAT because I saw an article about it come
to my user-group editor's article file offering, I was just glad to have
*anything* to help me get the job done; I still have beaucoup trouble with
the Ribbon -- I don't seem to think the MS way.
Thanks.

The only way I actually know that it's on there by default (aside from the
fact that I wouldn't have added it, I think) is that it's shone (a version
of it, anyway) in the "Welcome to the 2007 Microsoft Office system" guide at
http://blogs.msdn.com/jensenh/archive/2006/05/31/611552.aspx or
http://blogs.vertigosoftware.com/jatwood/archive/2006/07/28/Microsoft_Office_2007_Cheatsheet.aspx,
which I keep on my copy stand because it has a screen shot of the Ribbon
that I find helpful for reference in helping users.

Quite a lot of folks, me included, have that problem...
This last incarnation of Word (7) will be my last. I shall still have to
use it for work stuff, but that ribbon thing is beyond a joke... I shan't
be purchasing any more versions.

All I can say is... Good job this NG exists, otherwise I'd have disposed
of Word 7 a few weeks after purchasing it.

So at least thanks for the NG and the advice therein folks.

Word 7 came out in 1994 (Word for Windows 95). The one with the Ribbon is
Word 2007.

Yup! I know, and I realised it about 30 seconds after posting... ;-)

Such is life. Bwaaaaa!

But I still don't like the ribbon... :-)~
