1. Word 2010 – Ribbon
Microsoft Office 2010 has been established for some time and it is now considered an desktop
application with more ―role-based‖ feature than previous versions. It is a productivity suite for
Microsoft Windows user and a successor of Microsoft Office 2007. Its features are tailored to
employees in roles such as research and development professionals, sales people, and human
resources practitioners.

One of the major features of Microsoft Office 2010 includes the Ribbon. The Ribbon was
introduced as part of the Microsoft Fluent user interface in the 2007 Microsoft Office release.
With Office 2010, it is now included in all of the Office desktop applications.

What is the Ribbon?

Microsoft declares the ribbon as ―the modern way to help users find, understand, and use
commands efficiently and directly – with a minimum number of clicks, with less need to resort
to trial-and-error, and without having to refer to Help.‖

The ribbon is formed as a fixed-size panel that houses buttons and icons for the commonly used
commands. The commands are organized as a set of tabs. Within each tab, various related
options are grouped together. Each Microsoft office 2010 application (Word, Excel, PowerPoint,
OutLook, Access, SharePoint and OneNote) has a different set of tabs which house the options
for that specific application.

Tabs
The ribbon provides a highly visual way to see different features grouped into logical
categories on individual tabs. The tabs are made up of groups of commands and galleries of
graphically represented icons. Core tabs, such as File, Home and View are always displayed.

Ribbon when these objects are selected in the Word
document.

Dialog Box Launchers

tab. When the Dialog Box Launcher is clicked on, it launches a dialog box that provides more
options, besides the one displayed on the Ribbon, related to the group.

the Ribbon does. It also provides information on any
shortcut key that might be available for the performing the
operation. To see a tooltip, simply move and hold the
mouse pointer over any of command on the Ribbon.

command and it usage.

Help

where you can type your query related any aspect of Office 2010.

ALT Key

Ribbon, press ALT key. For example, the ALT for the Home tab is Alt H. To View the ALT key
for a command, simply press the ALT Key. This will display the ALT Character for the
