What is the ribbon? • The Ribbon is set of contextual tools and features to users of Word. • When you click one of the major tabs on the Ribbon, the tools you need for specific tasks should mostly be right where you need them. The ideal result is that you don’t need to go looking for what you want. • Ribbon is organized into tabs and groups. • The result is that more of the tools are exposed to you, making it more likely that you’ll discover what you need. • Over the 13 years, the interface slowly morphed from menus and toolbars into the Ribbon.
