When will I ever learn!    LOL   Should have started with MS's Knowledge

When I first saw 2007, I thought the ribbon idea sucked.  And back then, 
I found out how to get rid of it, but didn't remember how.

I don't think you could make it any easier than customizing the Quick 
Access Toolbar with a button toggles the Ribbon on or off.   :-)
