Ribbon Access

To allow more space to work with documents, simply fold away or minimize the ribbon. This can be achieved in more than one way:

1. Use the Collapse the Ribbon option (the tiny upward-facing arrow) to the right of the ribbon to hide everything on the ribbon except the tabs. If you click on a tab, it will unfold the ribbon options for that particular tab:

After selecting the desired options from the tab, take your focus back to the document by clicking back on the document. The ribbon will fold away again.

2. To display the ribbon permanently, click on the ribbon display options icon to the left of the minimize icon on the title bar:

This drop-down list also allows you to auto-hide the ribbon and to only show the tabs. Alternatively, you can click on any tab to select it and then double-click on the tab heading to hide the ribbon; then, double-click on the tab heading again to un-hide the ribbon. The ribbon display options icon provides another method of auto-hiding the ribbon and showing the tabs and commands.
