One of the complaints I hear a lot about Office 2007 is how inextensible the Ribbon is. The truth is that you can customize it, granted it takes a bit of knowledge and the right software tools to make changes to it. This involves a bit of programming in a language much like (and based on) XML called RibbonX. RibbonCustomizer aims to help you change it up without a lot of programming. There is a free starter version and a professional version for purchase ($29.99) that you can download. You'll get a 14 day free trial of the pro edition to see if it ruffles your feathers. The link provided has a feature comparison for both the free and paid versions if you want to know what the difference is between the two.RibbonCustomizer personalizes Office 2007's...um, Ribbon

This program works pretty well. But it's way to expensive in my opinion.
I don't really care about not being able to remove or add buttons, but I hate it that I can't move the tabs and fields around. Just like any program for the last ten years...!
Here's a screenshot of my new Ribbon...
