Is there a way to use the keyboard shortcuts to access the classic menus?

Yes. You just need to add Q to the original shortcuts. For example, press Alt-Q-O-E to open the format cells dialog box in Excel 2007.

With Office 2007, you don’t even need to remember the shortcut keys. Simply press Alt to see keytips appear in the Ribbon. By following the keytips, you can browse toolbars and menus without remembering the shortcuts. For example, press Alt-Q-Q to display the 'All' menu. Then press O-P to change the paragraph setting.
