>> Robert and all,
>> I will check out that link.  So far I looked over the ribbons in word; two ribbons, upper and lower and the lower appears to give you options under that tab.  But it doesn't seem as user friendly.  With the menus in 2003 I could arrow down the menus and/or press the first letter of the option i wanted like t for thesaurus.  Now all these buttons don't seem to give easy shortcuts and navigation.
>> To see my options on the lower ribbon, do I down arrow?
>> 
>> Some questions:
>> 1. Where do I find thesaurus?
>> 2. Where do I find the box giving you the word count/character count? It used to be under tools.
>> 3.
