MS Excels itself

Once you get used to the ribbons they are pretty good - although they take up a fair amount of the screen.

So I am in some new-fangled version of Excel, and I want to insert a row.

Previously, I'd click on the Insert menu, and choose the menu item Rows. Insert Rows, sorted!

Now I look around the menu bar, which reads Home Insert PageLayout Formulas Data Review View. Aha! There is still a Menu called "Insert". But I look there in vain for the option to Insert Rows, because it's not there.

It is in the menu "Home", in the section called "Cells", in the drop-down item "Insert".

Shakes head. I'm getting too old for this. Where's my RTW backpack?

Old client co was sold this along with training. FFS, what a swindle, move the menu around so that you can sell training. Typical MS sh1t. Give me Supercalc for CP/M any day

Top tip;

Or just right click a row and choose insert

Or just ask your Secretary to get off her pretty little arse and come and show you how to do it.

YMMV

I've only just got used to Office 2003.

The right click context menu might be easier

Yes, moving everything so that it's intuitive hides "old friends" from us who've been using these products for years.

Same issue with Word. Table / Delete / Table moved somewhere I can't remember where now, but took me ages to find it.
