Hi Carol

I don't think you can turn off the ribbon.  It's just Microsoft making the
program look different so people will buy it, least that's my cynical view.
I'm upgrading because I feel I have to, not because I want to leave 2003
behind.  I guess we just have to go with the flow.  Once it is all
configured the way I want it, I hope that will be me sorted, (smile).

A year's subscription costs £79 I think.  You don't get an actual CD, you
download it and install to your device.


Kind regards,

Jackie Brown

OK, so what's the cost?

I really don't get on with ribbons so hope there's a way to turn them off 
and still get the functionality!
