--------------- I thought that the ribbon was to show the user just how much potential was available. In that the typical user only tapped 5% of a word processor's capabilities. It has been documented so many times that a graphic conveys an idea better then a single word outside of the word STOP! With that fact in mind designers and engineers are attempting to give you more information that will allow you to get more out of the product.
