Learning the Word 2007 Home Ribbon

When you click on a menu in Word 2007, you won’t get the traditional drop-down menu. Rather, you’ll get a Ribbon filled with commands and options. It also replaces the toolbars of previous Word versions.

Each Ribbon is divided into different sections, where similar commands are grouped. You can access more options by clicking on the arrow in the lower-right corner of a section, beside the section title.

On the Home Ribbon, the first section is the Clipboard. Here, you can cut, copy, and paste text and objects. You’ll also find the Format Painter.
