While the Ribbon interface is useful to show new users all the features of MS Excel, one area which could lead to trouble is the "Delete" button on the Home Tab of MS Excel 2007 and 2010.
If an MS Excel user presses the "delete" button they delete the contents of the Excel cell and also the Excel cell itself. This can misalign all the rows beneath that deleted cell and make the table worse than worthless, if fact all wrong
