    I think of Word 2007. All downhill after that…

    Edit: Or was it 2011? I can’t even remember anymore…

      They implemented the ribbon menu in ~2007 office iirc, somewhen around Vista. 2003 is the old WinXP styled one with all these little menus and buttons, fugly but usable. Is that the one you’ve meant?

        I’m having to use windows+office for work after a few years of being linux only, and god do I hate modern office’s interface.

        The ribbon, on its own, isn’t super offensive to me - its just a chonky toolbar. But why on earth did they have to get rid of the classic menus?! If I don’t know where a feature is, it’s so much easier to skim through text menus than flipping from ribbon to ribbon, hovering over each button for tooltips, and popping out secondary toolbars of icons to find what I want. It’s maddening for someone who only needs to use office intermittently.

        No I think it was 2011. Whatever the stable most streamlined release was before Office 365 rolled out.
