Getting rid of the Office ribbon

Grahame is a member of the HATT list that I respect. I do not share his distaste for the Ribbon interface, but the sites he lists below may be worth exploring. After nearly a year with Word 2007, I'm doing okay.

After being forced to use Office 2007 for a while now, I am just about ready to shred the ribbon into little pieces and grind it into the carpet.

Googling reveals a variety of add-ons and techniques for customizing it or returning to the classic menus and toolbars, e.g.:

http://rondebruin.nl/ribbon.htm
http://www.addintools.com/english/menuoffice/

Before I try these, I was wondering whether anybody else on this list had tried them or any others?

Thanks,
gray
