The Ribbon's Tabs in Word 2007 - Word 2016/365. Microsoft Word adopted the Ribbon User Interface (UI) with the introduction of Office 2007. This page explores some of the variations on that Ribbon through the versions. In composing this page, a deliberate choice was made to not resize images. This makes for a wide page, especially on mobile devices.
Ribbons are the modern way to help users find, understand, and use commands efficiently and directlyâwith a minimum number of clicks, with less need to resort to trial-and-error, and without having to refer to Help. A ribbon is a command bar that organizes a program's features into a series of tabs at the top of a window. Using a ribbon increases discoverability of features and functions, enables quicker learning of the program as a whole, and makes users feel more in control of their experience with the program.
