Microsoft Office Word
Microsoft Word is a word processor developed

software application, which performs the task of
composition, editing, formatting, and sometimes
printing of documents

When you first start some of the programs in 2007 Microsoft Office system, you
may be surprised by what you see. The menus and toolbars in some programs have
been replaced with the Ribbon, which is part of the Microsoft Office Fluent user
interface.
The Ribbon as it appears in Microsoft Office Word 2007
The Ribbon is designed to help you quickly find the commands that you need to
complete a task. Commands are organized in logical groups, which are collected
together under tabs. Each tab relates to a type of activity, such as writing or laying
out a page. To reduce clutter, some tabs are shown only when needed. For
example, the Picture Tools tab is shown only when a picture is selected.

further organized into several
groups. The Office Fluent Ribbon
can host richer content than
menus and toolbars can, including
buttons, galleries, and dialog box
content.
1. Tabs are designed to be task-oriented.
2. Groups within each tab break a task into subtasks.
3. Command buttons in each group carry out a command or display a menu of
commands. Tabs that appear only when you need them.
Contextual tools: Contextual tools enable you to work with an object that you
select on the page, such as a table, picture, or drawing. When you click the object,
the pertinent set of contextual tabs appear in an accent color next to the standard
tabs.
1. Select an item in your document.
2. The name of the contextual tools appears in an accent color, and the contextual
tabs appear next to the standard set of tabs.

the standard set of tabs when you
