This is the Quick Access Toolbar - there you can

insert any command in Word, and you could carry
out that command through a single click.

This is the Tell me what you want to

do function. If you cannot find an icon
or a command you are looking for, you
can just type its name there and Word
provides you with the answer.

The Tab bar. Each of these tabs contains a number of icons which execute various commands.

This is The Ribbon. You can easily hide it or show it by pressing Ctrl + F1.

The icons form separate groupings, or blocks. Some of these groupings can be expanded by clicking on the little button down right.

This is The Ruler.

Notes

The Word Count Indicator provides you with some statistics

regarding the entire document such as number of pages and
characters.

In the bottom of the screen you see another bar that contains
the Read Mode, Print Layout and Web Layout buttons. They
can be used in order to organize the text in various ways.

Next, you can technically zoom in and out if you prefer to see
the letters in a smaller or bigger size. Be careful though, as this
does not change the font size of your text - it just displays the
text in a different way to help you see it better. It does not
apply any formatting to the content!

These are the Undo and Redo buttons. Word records all your
actions and you can restore any action you like. The shortcuts

for these commands are Ctrl + Z and Ctrl + Y.
