Insert Menu Commands Distributed over 5 Tabs in Excel 2007

Okay, so far you’ve studied the corresponding commands in Excel 2007 for the File menu, Edit menu and View menu. And you think … hmm … I get this new user interface. After all, most of the commands in each menu were ported into one area. For example the commands in the File menu are found mostly in the Office button. Likewise with the Edit menu. Most of the commands are in the Home tab. And ditto with the View menu commands. You therefore expect to find most of the Insert menu commands in the Insert tab. Well … yes and no. Of the 24 commands in the Insert menu, 4 are now found in the Home tab, 10 in the Insert tab, 6 in the Formula tab, 2 in the Review tab, one in the Page Layout tab and 1 didn’t make it.

What is clear is that users who are already familiar with the menu and toolbars will have to relearn the user interface.
