Default Outlook 2007 No Ribbon

For some reason Outlook shows menu bars instead of the ribbon, I like the
ribbon and want it in Outlook, why doesn't it show up?

Default Outlook 2007 No Ribbon

Because it wasn't included in the main Outlook window.

Neither Outlook 2007 or Publisher 2007 have ribbons. Microsoft told me that they did not have enough time to fit them into the 2007 release but would be available for the next office release. Also they had no intention of introducing them via a patch/update.

Default Outlook 2007 No Ribbon

What is your question?
Outlook 2007 does have the Ribbon. It actually has 19 Ribbons and
required more work than any of the other Ribbon apps. You only see the
Ribbon in Outlook 2007 though for the windows for its individual items
(appointments, contacts, emails, etc). The main window of Outlook didn't
receive the Ribbon.
Visio, Publisher, Project, OneNote, SharePoint Designer, InfoPath and
Groove 2007 all don't have the Ribbon. It is correct that Microsoft
would not give those applications the Ribbon via a patch/service pack.
That would be way to big a change for a patch/service pack, which are
intended to fix bugs, not introduce new features.

I do not belive that this is totally correct: My boss has been using the
Ribbon in the main outlook window for a while and just today it stopped
working. We have Professional Plus Installed. When I tried to install
Office 2007 Enterprise from my Action Pack, it did not show the ribbon
though. Why would the ribbon disapear and how do we get it back?

Your boss is seeing things. There is and was no ribbon for folder views
(Explorers).
