Ribbons let you find, understand, and use commands with a minimum number of clicks. Ribbons enable quicker learning of the program as a whole.
A ribbon is a command bar that organizes the features into a series of tabs at the top of the application window. The tabs are composed of groups providing the practical commands. The tabs and logical groups increase discoverability features and functions.
The ribbon design supersedes traditional menu bars and toolbars and provides a single user interface (UI) for all commands with labeled groupings and icons.
