Description John Enigma 2019-11-27 01:20:43 UTC 
Description:
What do I mean by this? 

There should be an option for new people to make the Tabbed Ribbons similar to Microsoft Word's Ribbons, because not everyone still has a learning curve to handle understand LibO's own layout.  

If no one still don't know what I'm talking, this is what I mean: https://imgur.com/a/k0fu8IO

Considering that I'm new to LibreOffice, and to this site, I don't know if this is the first time requesting this, or if people have asked for something like this already. But to be honest, this is a request that I wish Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, and Base had.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enhancement
2.
3.

Actual Results:
N/a

Expected Results:
N/a


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Again, this is first time that I submit a feature request here.

Hi John,

Thanks for the request, but on thing you can not doe is confirming your one report.
Some one else have to do it.
And i don't like LibreOffice to be a clone of M$office.

Best regards

Thanks. And again, sorry.

Like I said, I'm still new to this.

That being said, having a Ribbon UI similar to M$ Office is a matter of preference for me. It's an optional thing.

Also, how do unconfirm the request?

Have you tested in Menu/View/User interface?, there are a lot of options, sure not equal to msoffice, but some of them could be a good approach.

I have a question though. What is the NEEDINFO tag for?

While it's desirable to make it as easy as possible to switch from MSO to LibreOffice ee do not copycat Microsoft. Another showstopper here are the special controls, such as the style selection, where we provide superior solutions.

So yes, to small scale improvements (please file individual tickets) but no to a complete redesign. And a clear no to copy MSO.

beside the specific WontFix, this was in general issue of bug 33232
