As part of the ongoing series of putting all of the Office 2007 toolbars into one place so you can see everything at once. Here’s the group of toolbars from the ribbon for Microsoft PowerPoint 2007.
The interesting thing I noticed about many of the Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 ribbon toolbars is that there’s lots of unused space on a few different toolbars.
It makes me wonder if the divisions and separation of tools and features are really due to the functionality of each fitting into a group or if there’s another reason.
Would it have made more sense to combine some features currently found on multiple toolbars to a single toolbar, thus reducing the different places you’d have to look for the item.
Perhaps the side of the spectrum is there are more features coming for PowerPoint that will expand these toolbars even more? I was at a conference a week or so ago and the presenter from Microsoft was using the new version of PowerPoint that’s not on the market yet. Other than some new animations, I didn’t notice anything completely new.
Here’s the image to view all the toolbars in one place.
