What Is The Ribbon In Microsoft Word 2007?
When Microsoft replaced menus and toolbars in Office 2007 with the Ribbon, it confused a lot of people, myself included. We didn’t want to give up the familiar look. For those of you who use Word 2007 or later, I have put together a short tutorial on what the Ribbon is all about. Hope it helps.
The Ribbon sits just below the Quick Access Toolbar and is divided into tabs. Each tab is divided into different sections, where similar commands are grouped. You can access more options by clicking on the arrow in the lower-right corner of a section, beside the section title. Look at the picture below and follow along as I explain each tab.
Home: contains formatting and editing icons
Insert: objects into the document, such as pictures, cover pages, header/footer, and page number
Page Layout: set margins, page orientation, line spacing, and indents
References: bibliographic tools, such as endnotes, footnotes, table of contents, index, and citations
Mailings: mail merge, labels, and envelopes
Review: spell check, thesaurus, comments, track changes
View: views of the document, zoom, macros, and switch windows icon to switch between open documents
The picture above is also showing you the tabs related to a table if you had inserted a table into your Word Document. Hence the tabs Design and Layout.
