Outlook 2007 Ribbon annoyance

Posted at 2006-09-22 06:36 by Wictor Wilén in Microsoft Office with 2 comments.

Outlook 2007 RibbonI have been running Microsoft Outlook 2007 Beta 2 Technical Refresh now for a while and it's a great improvement to the Beta 2 but. There have been a lot of changes to the user interface in this release.

One thing that annoys me is the location of the Send button in a mail that you are composing. The most natural place should be where the Paste button is placed today.

My suggestion is to insert a slot for the Send button to the left of the Clipboard in the Ribbon bar.

What do you think?

Screenshot from websnpr hey wictor, the send button actually was initially in the ribbon ui next to where you want it, but user feedback was evident that it was only visible when you were on that ribbon...the second you changed to a different ribbon, send functionality was gone unless you go back...thus now it is a part of the message

Screenshot from websnpr Heya, that might be the reason. I've never reflected on it until B2TR (and never bothered to go back and check it).
