Weekly Tip: Office 2007 | Ribbons
One of the biggest changes in Microsoft® Office 2007 is the addition of the Office Ribbon which includes the Office Button, Quick Access Toolbar, and Tabs. The Tabs replace the Menus and Toolbars with a graphical representation of the available options within the application. The options are grouped based on common actions and page elements, allowing you to apply the options to your document, spreadsheet or presentation rapidly.
The Tabs available change depending on the application in which you are working and the type of element you are working with. For example, if you select a photo or graphic within your document, the Picture tab displays. When you click off of the object, the Picture tab is then hidden.
To minimize the tabs, complete the following action:
· Click the Customize Quick Access Toolbar button, and then click the Minimize the Ribbon link. – OR – Double-click any tab name.
