I presume it’s not possible to put the ribbon bar vertically down the left or right side?  Any plans to allow something like that?


With most monitors being wide-screen these days, vertical real estate is a premium, so it’s a better use of space to have all controls down the sides.


Thanks,


Rob.

The ribbon controls are not very friendly to wide screen monitors because the ribbon can be horizontal oriented only. The ribbon button layout is designed for adaptive horizontal compressing. That is why the ribbon is not a vertical control. Of course, it’s potentially possible to improve the ribbon bar control and rotate it. But we think it will contain too much buttons with vertically oriented text so it will not be convenient.
