How to restore classic menu in Office 2007-2010

You perceive Office 2007/2010 as a useful utility (or just eventually got used to it as time passed by), but there was/is (but hopefully won't be much longer) just a little thing you never got used to - new look of menu, introduced with Office 2007. New menu definitely from designer's point of view looks very nice, but from my (user) side I just miss an easy and intuitive way of locating commands.


OK, few years have passed since then, so why are you writing about it now, you might ask. Well, new toolbar was so irritating an user unfriendly for me I almost instantly started searching and found a solution to fix it. Since I'm using it from the very beginning, I almost even don't notice it anymore, but recently I had to use Office 2010 on a computer which wasn't mine, and soon I felt I was missing something. After that I got an idea to write a short post for all of you who still haven't thought about switching to "old" menu look or even better to say "old" functionality. The best thing with this solution is that you won't loose the new look if you like it.
OK, so there are actually 2 solutions available for returning to "old" menu look and both have free versions for private and non-commercial use.  First solution is called UBitMenu and is available for download here. Second one is called Classic Menu for Office, and can be downloaded here, depending on which version of Office you're using as well if it's 32 or 64 bit version.

I suggest you to try both to see which one suites you the best.
