(I accidentally dragged Excel from here to the desktop instead of creating a shortcut, but it's the same.)
On Windows 7? I must admit I find 7's removal/hiding of the standard Windows app functionality to be quite disorienting.
Yes, Windows 7.

Maybe there's a toolbar that needs to be showing?
Even if the toolbar isn't showing the file tab does the same.
Yes, I don't even have that toolbar that you are showing in your example above, just the file tab.

I'm not sure I feel completely safe posting on a forum with such amateurs in charge. Can we get a REAL programmer in the house?

Could microsoft cram any more pointless shite on there?
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

// Replaces with spaces the braces in cases where braces in places cause stasis

You can remove lots of it by the way.

Also, I use a large proportion of those functions - although not in Word - but in PPT and (where available) in Excel.

That is arse backwards. You should customise by putting things you use regularly in easy reach not have to remove vast swathes of clutter that you use once in a blue moon.

Fair point. But that screenshot is not showing the standard set of tools. It has way more showing than the standard set.

I find that once you get used to the ribbon, it works quite well. It was the learning/switching-over process that everyone (including me) hated.
