The Ribbon is the panel at the top portion of the document.
It has seven tabs: Home, Insert, Page Layout, References, Mailings,
Review, and View that contain many new and existing features of

features designed to perform functions that you will utilize in
developing or editing your Word document.

additional features within each group, click on the arrow at the bottom
right of each group.
