Hi,
I also have been a SD user for probably 6 years. I'm toughing it out with SD2007 to give it a chance to see if I can do my work productively.

Along with the trade-offs mentioned previously, my main beef is lack of keyboard shortcuts. When typing text, it sure would be handy if I could just press ALT and a keyboard letter to make menu choices. Using Alt-keycombinations is so much faster and efficient than stopping, grabbing the mouse, find menu, click, click, re-position fingers on keyboard, etc. I could go back to the classic menu but that defeats the purpose of the ribbon.

I'll send a suggest to SD to see if they can implement keyboard shortcuts. Unless I'm missing something?

cheers,
-Tony
