How to reduce size of ribbon. Is it possible to create similar menu of PowerPoint 2003 in the new 2007 version. If yes then how. I also want to add some button to the Quick access toolbar. Also post the settings to view files simultaneously. Does the new version has a spellchecker features like word.
