The Ribbon.
There are three basic components to the Ribbon:1) Tabs sit across the top of the Ribbon. Each one represents the tasks youdo in a given program.2) Groups are sets of related commands, displayed on Tabs. They pulltogether all the commands you're likely to need for a type of task, and theyremain on display and readily available, giving you rich visual aids.3) Commands are arranged in groups. A command can be a button, a menu,or a box where you enter information.
