megan,
I think there is a link that shows you what the commands were in the previous version and what they are now.
maybe in the help menu?
You want to meet the real me now?

megan-
I can email you the one we have at my job. It is an excel spreadsheet of the old menus telling you were the items are on the new ribbon.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I KNOW WHAT IT IS. On the iPad and the iPod you are using a touchscreen so the idiom is different from a touchpad, and I think that's perfectly cromulent.
Sorry. Don't know why that a) took so long b) came out so forcefully.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Why should a touchpad be different? Wouldn't it be easier for new users if it weren't?

First off, I hate new users. They're the reason for the MS Office ribbon and why I can't find anything.
Secondly, I have no reason to assume a touchpad and a touchscreen need to behave the same--I want a touchpad to behave like a mouse (I guess it's the scroll wheel movement) BECAUSE I'M OLD, and I want a touchscreen to move the things on the screen where I put them with my finger.

Trust my rage
ita is exactly right! One is the screen an the other reminds me of a mouse.
(ok, that has been bothering me)

But mice have always been backwards, too! If you push up on a scroll wheel, the window moves down!

Scroll bar. Drag that down, screen goes up. I am going to make sense eventually.

Mice aren't backwards. You push up on the wheel and the viewport moves up, push down and the viewport moves down.
Touch makes sense too, you're dragging the document instead of moving the viewport.
