The Ribbon

The Ribbon contains multiple tabs, each with several groups of commands. You can add your own tabs that contain your favorite commands. 

To customize the Ribbon:  You can customize the Ribbon by creating your own tabs that house your desired commands. Commands are always housed within a group, and you can create as many groups as you need to keep your tabs organized. You can also add commands to any of the default tabs as long as you create a custom group within the tab.  Right-click the Ribbon, then select Customize the Ribbon. A dialog box will appear.  Right-clicking the Ribbon to customize it     Click New Tab. A new tab will be created with a new group inside it.     Make sure the new group is selected. Select a command from the list on the left, then click Add. You can also drag commands directly into a group.  When you are done adding commands, click OK.
