RE: [libreoffice-users] Document formating

I have Microsoft Office 2010 on a new machine, so no characteristics were 
inherited from older versions.  I have the Ribbon running, and I don't see the 
orb anywhere.  I also use Quick Access thingies for what I regularly use and 
can never remember where to find.

I can't find anything about the Orb or any way to turn it on.   Everything 
seems to have a File tab to the far left now.  Outlook, Excel, Word, 
PowerPoint, even OneNote.  I don't know where you ever saw it in 2010.  Sorry.

 - Dennis

Hi :)
I think you can configure whether you have the orb or without the ribbon at 
all or a strange inbetween.  I haven't really paid to much attention to 2010 
tbh.  I just found it easier to find things i was looking for and escape back 
to LO/OOo quickly.
Regards from
Tom :)
