In their continued effort to destroy their own software, Microsoft got rid of the File menu in Excel 2007. Well... no, not really, it's still there, they took the label off, and now it looks like a decoration. They replaced it with a rounded circle in the upper left corner with a little picture of 4 colored squares. It looks like a bit like the Microsoft "flag", except with squares instead.
MOST, but not all, of the old File menu's options are there, like "Save", "Save As..." and "Print...". So "File -> Print..." is now under the round circle flag thingy in the upper left corner.
Note that, even though Print... has been moved there, the File -> Page Setup... is NOT there, those features who have been separated out and moved 2/3rds of the way across the screen.
Although Office 2007 has some improvements, I am floored by the number stupid changes they've made that confuse anybody who's ever used their products before. Stunningly bad ideas.
