Ribbon

There are seven tabs initially but additional tabs can be displayed depending on your personal Word Options.
These tabs will look different depending on how wide your Word application window is. Every tab is divided into "groups" and the name of these groups is displayed at the bottom.
As you make your application window wider, more and more of the commands will be displayed until eventually every command from every group is visible.
In addition to these seven tabs there are also additional contextual tabs which automatically appear depending on what is currently selected.


You can hide the ribbon by using the arrow in the top right corner or double click on a tab.
You can also press (Ctrl + F1)
