Tabs & Ribbon

Tabs: - Microsoft Office 2007 boasts a new navigation tool — the command ribbon                  that runs through Word, Use the tabs on the ribbon in each program to                     work with and within files in every component. Tabs are Home, Insert, Page Layout, References, Mailing, Review, and View.

Ribbons: - 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.

The following tables show the commands grouped under each ribbon tab for each of the four programs:
