Quick Access Toolbar Located on the title bar, above the Ribbon, the Quick Access Toolbar provides access to AutoSave , Save , Undo and Redo. You can customize it by adding your favorite commands so that they are available no matter which tab you are using. Click on the drop-down triangle next to the Quick Access Toolbar and click on the action you want available on the toolbar. You will need to repeat for each addition. AutoSave defaults to “on.” Click to turn on or off. File Located on the top-left of the window, the File menu provides access to the functions common across all Office applications. Some of the functions found in the File menu for working with your file are Open, Save, Print, and Share. The Ribbon The Ribbon is a panel that houses the command buttons and icons needed for an application. Commands on the Ribbon are organized as a set of Tabs , each grouping relevant commands. Each application has a different set of Tabs, which expose the functions that that application offers. Within each Tab , various related options may be grouped together. Tabs & Contextual Tabs In Word 2019 , there are nine basic Tabs across the top of the Ribbon. Each represents an activity area. Each Tab has several Groups that show related items together. Some Tabs , called Contextual Tabs , appear only when certain objects are selected. Some commands are only available when the user is in a specific program or completing a specific task. For example, when you create a chart in Word, you see “Design” and “Layout” tabs , which contain commands that allow you to format your chart. If you select a picture, then the “ Picture Format” tab is exposed, presenting options which deal with the picture. Contextual tabs remain hidden unless their specific objects are selected. In previous versions of Word, names of the contextual tabs may have been different, but commands within were very similar. Mini Toolbar The Mini Toolbar is great for formatting options. Select or Highlight your text, and then point at the selection. The Mini Toolbar will appear in a faded fashion. If you point to the Mini Toolbar , it will become solid, and you can click a formatting option there. It also appears near the right-click menu when a user right-clicks on a selected word or words. Dialog Box Launcher (^) Some groups have a small diagonal arrow in the lower-right corner. The arrow is called a Dialog Box Launcher. If you click it, you'll see more options related to that group. Those options will appear in the form of a dialog box. Help Tab Click the Help Tab (formerly the? icon) to access the Help menu.
