Ribbon
The Ribbon is the strip of buttons and icons located above the work area in Word 2007.

ribbon contains groups of command buttons with common purpose. Each ribbon contains
7 tabs.

save, and print. Also shows previously opened files, which you may choose to “pin” them
to make them “permanent”choices.

buttonallows you to determine which type of tab will be set left aligned , right aligned ,
center aligned or decimal tab . Clicking on this button will allow you to change the tab
style.

options may include page number/number of total page, word count, insert/overtype

button that looks like a minus sign that lets you split your screen in two when double-
clicked. Double-clicking it a second time will unsplit your screen.

Scroll Bars
Allows you to view entire workbook by moving it up, down (vertical scroll bar), left or
right (horizontal scroll bar).

Right Indent
Slide this triangle to the left of the margin to limit the right side of a paragraph to that
point. Move the triangle to the right of the margin to allow the right side of the paragraph
to extend beyond the margin. The triangle at the margin will keep the right side of the
paragraph with the margin.

several groups.Some groups, but not all, contain a quick launch bar (dialogue box
launcher) in the bottom right hand corner.

down arrow at the end of the toolbar to add/remove command buttons – or – right-click

several groups. To select a tab, simply click on it and the appropriate groups will be
displayed.

This triangle controls where the first line of a paragraph begins. Moved to the left of the
margin, will allow the first paragraph to be in the left margin. Can be moved to the right
of the margin to indent your paragraph.

Hanging Indent
The opposite of a first line indent. It is often moved to the right of the first line indent,
which allows the remaining lines of a paragraph to be indented according to placement of
the triangle.
