Ribbon Hero Makes it Easier to Learn How to Use Office 2007 and 2010

image There is Guitar Hero, there is Band Hero and now there is… Ribbon Hero? Yes you did read that correctly. You can now become your very own Office Hero.

The Ribbon UI debuted in Office 2007 and had mixed reactions. That is understandable considering that people have been using the old menu strip for over 20 years. The ribbon was designed to make it easier to find features throughout Office but the problem was that you had to lean how to use your favorite programs all over again. Because people were having a really hard time learning how the ribbon works Microsoft decided to make learning Office somewhat “fun” by turning learning the it into a game.

The game installs quickly and works very nicely. In Ribbon Hero you can collect points by completing challenges, or just doing everyday tasks. The game also has Facebook integration so you and your friends can get in  some sort of lame battle to see who can use Office better.
