In Word 2010, you can arrange the ribbon the way you want. You can create new tabs and put the commands you use most often on them. You can move the tabs where you want. Really, you get to design the Word ribbon to match your own flow when you're working on documents.
This is happy news, because when Word 2007 came out,
Office Professional 2007, people immediately wanted to customize the ribbon--to put the things they wanted where they wanted or to add new tabs. Word 2007 didn't include a friendly way to do that.
Now, it's as easy as clicking File,
Office 2007 Enterprise, clicking Options, and clicking Customize Ribbon.
From there, you can add your own tabs by clicking New Tab and then clicking the new tab and clicking Rename (so that you can call it something more fun and descriptive than "New Tab").
For example, I can add a tab called "Writing."
And to those tabs, you can add your own groups. In my example, I add groups for printing, formatting, and tools.
Now that you have your own tab and your own groups,
Office 2007 Download, you can add any commands you want from the command well (which sounds a little bit like a wishing well). To see all of them, click the arrow below Choose commands from, and then click All Commands. It's a long list.
Next, click the group you want to add commands to, click a command in the list of commands, and then click Add. To continue with my Writing tab example, I can add Quick Print and Print Preview and Print to my Printing group. I can put things like Header, Footer,
Office 2010, and Table of Contents in my Formatting group. And I can add Thesaurus to my Tools group.
I can use the arrow keys to order my commands exactly the way I want them (in this case, up means left and down means right).
Finally, I can use that up arrow key to move my Writing tab all the way to the left of my Word ribbon, so that it's open automatically when I start Word.
Set the Word ribbon up the way you want it. And if you change your mind, you can change your ribbon,
Office Professional Plus 2010, too.
