I don't like moving through the ribbon. It slows me down and I don't know the product well enough yet to use hot-keys.

In my previous product, I created separate, side-by-side vertical menus that contained macros. These menus were in addition to the top menu (ribbon in this case) and were always visible so I could immediately see each one and implement it with just one click.

I would love to do this in Word. If this is possible, I would appreciate directions. Thanking you in advance
