Ms Office Part 2
Ms Office Part 2
This button was removed in Office 2007 and makes its return in 2010. This button is convenient in that
you can Minimize, Maximize or Close Word without having to traverse your mouse across the entire
screen to the right corner to perform these same actions. With our monitors getting larger, this is a nice
feature.

The Minimize Ribbon Button
While reading over a document, it may be convenient at times to minimize the Ribbon. To minimize, just
click on the ‘up arrow’ symbol.

The File Tab
The File tab is basically the same look as the File command for Office 2003 users. You will still see the
same commands such as, Save, Save As, New, Print, etc. For Office 2007 users, the Office Button has
gone away and has been replaced by the File tab. Here, you will still find the basic file commands. The
screen below is the default with Info being highlighted in the left column and the right side giving you
more information about your document like file size, number of words and pages.

The Quick Access Toolbar
The Quick Access Toolbar is located in the upper left corner and is intended to store the buttons you will
use most often.
By default, the Quick Access Toolbar shows the Save, Undo, and Redo buttons, however if you click on
the drop down arrow just to the right, you can customize it to fit your needs. In the example below, I
have added the Quick Print button. The Save icon (which appears as a floppy diskette symbol) is
convenient to click on when wanting to save your work instead of clicking on the Save icon from the File
tab.

The Ribbon
The Ribbon is designed to replace the menus and toolbars of Office 2003. The goal of the Ribbon is to
keep commands visually up front so that they are easy to access as you work.
The Ribbon is divided into what are called Groups (Clipboard, Font, Paragraph and Styles, etc.). Each
Group has a triangular icon in the lower right hand corner. Clicking this will bring up an additional menu
window. For example, clicking the triangle in the Font group brings up the classic Font options window.
