IMPORTANT The screen shots of the ribbon were captured with the author’s preferred

settings for screen resolution and magnification. If your display settings are different,
then the ribbon will appear differently on your screen due to its dynamic capabilities.
For example, buttons may appear stacked vertically instead of horizontally. If you notice
these differences, you can either adapt the exercise instructions to your screen or modify
your display settings so that your screens match ours.

SEE ALSO For instructions on how to modify your display settings and adapt exercise
instructions, see Chapter 1, “Getting comfortable in Office Professional 2013.”

▪▪ File tab This is the first tab on the ribbon. Unlike other ribbon tabs, the File tab
­dis­plays the Backstage view where commands for working with the entire docu-
ment, such as Save As, Print, Share, and Export, are located. The Backstage view
is also where application options are located and where you can find information
about your user account and your version of Office.

▪▪ Quick Access Toolbar This toolbar holds your most frequently used commands. By
default, Save, Undo, and Redo have already been added.
TIP To add other commands to your Quick Access Toolbar, right-click the command
you want and then click Add To Quick Access Toolbar. To remove a command from
the Quick Access Toolbar, similar to adding a command, just right-click the command
you wish to remove and then click Remove From Quick Access Toolbar.

▪▪ Title bar This bar is located at the top of the window, and it displays the name of the
active document along with the application name. If you’re working with a document
that hasn’t been saved, a name such as Document1—Word is displayed. After the
document has been saved, the title bar will reflect the name of the saved document.

▪▪ Window controls These controls are displayed at the right end of the title bar. Along
with the standard Minimize, Restore Down/Maximize, and Close buttons, there are
two additional buttons—Help and Ribbon Display Options.
TIP To minimize the ribbon, you can use the Ribbon Display Options, click the Col-
lapse Ribbon button located on the far right end of the ribbon, or press Shift+F1.
