There is a quick and simple way to turn the Ribbon on or off in ALL Microsoft Office 2010 programs.  In Outlook there is actually an icon in the top right corner of the screen.  This video will show an example in Outlook 2010 and Excel 2010, but will work in Word, PowerPoint, and Publisher as well.

It is easier to view and save files if your “Save As” window opens in full screen.  This video applies to most Office 2007 and 2010 programs in Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7.
