The Ribbon is designed to help you quickly find the commands that you need to complete a task. Commands are organized in logical groups, which are collected together under tabs. Each tab relates to a type of activity, such as writing or laying out a page. To reduce clutter, some tabs are shown only when needed. For example, the Picture Tools tab is shown only when a picture is selected.

HIDING THE RIBBON

You can’t delete or replace the Ribbon with the toolbars and menus from the earlier versions of Microsoft Office, although you can minimize it to allow for more on-screen space.
