Word Tip - Customize the Ribbon

Microsoft Office finally lets you rearrange the Ribbon the way you want by clicking the File tab to go to Backstage, selecting Options, and then Customize Ribbon.

This is the Ribbon in all Microsoft Office Products.

Once "backstage", in the right-hand column, you can create a new tab or a new group on an existing tab, remove or rearrange items already on the Ribbon by selecting them in the right-hand column, or select items that you want to add from the list on the left. Long-term Office users may want to use the "Commands not on the ribbon," function because you can now add a command that you used in older versions of Word that nixed from the Ribbon due to lack of demand.

Note: A button on the lower right lets you export your customizations to other Office setups.
