Default No Ribbon with Outlook 2007

Hi all, Vista Ultimate, x64, Outlook 2007

When I open Outlook 2007 I am not able to get the Ribbon. It has the same
kind of toolbar as the 2003. I do not have the 2003 installed on this
machine as well.

Is there a setting that I need to enable to be able to get the Ribbon
toolbar?

Default No Ribbon with Outlook 2007

If you right-click on the toolbar, do you see a menu with
"Minimize the Ribbon" and a check mark next to it?
If so, Click on it to turn it off (and show the ribbon).

Default No Ribbon with Outlook 2007

Outlook 2007 does not have the Ribbon on its main interface. However, the individual items like new message, contact, task, all do have the Ribbon interface.

Default No Ribbon with Outlook 2007

Hi Nikki. No, and I have uninstalled the previous install and just now
reinstalled the Microsoft Office Professional Plus, and still I see no
Ribbon. When I right click the menu bar, all I see is Standard, Advanced,
Web and Customize.

Default No Ribbon with Outlook 2007

Hi Milly,

I have a demo download of a Outlook demo, "DemoUptoSpeed.exe" which is
available on the Office On-Line, and it does show the Ribbon, and talks
about how to to use it. Why would they provide this kind of demo if in fact
the Ribbon is not a part of the 2007 Outlook install?

Milly is correct. The ribbon is in 2007 BUT only when you OPEN an Item. So
open a Task, Contact, Email, Meeting and you will see a ribbon. It's just
not on the base screen of Outlook where you still have the old fashioned
File | Edit | View | go | Tools | Action | Help buttons.

Default No Ribbon with Outlook 2007

Thanks, Judy.....I see how it works now. I am just used to seeing the
Ribbon displayed when you first open in all the other 2007 programs, so I
was confused when this is not the case with Outlook 2007.

The mail Outlook window doesn't use the ribbon. The various other windows
(message, calendar, contact, etc.) do.

Thanks, Brian. Adds a bit more confusion to the "Whar's the Ribbon?...?"
