One of the biggest changes in Microsoft® Office 2007 is the addition of the Office Ribbon which includes the Office Button, Quick Access Toolbar, and Tabs. The Tabs replace the Menus and Toolbars with a graphical representation of the available options within the application. The options are grouped based on common actions and page elements, allowing you to apply the options to your document, spreadsheet or presentation rapidly.
The Tabs available change depending on the application in which you are working and the type of element you are working with. For example, if you select a photo or graphic within your document, the Picture tab displays. When you click off of the object, the Picture tab is then hidden.
To minimize the tabs, complete the following action:
· Click the Customize Quick Access Toolbar button, and then click the Minimize the Ribbon link. – OR – Double-click any tab name.

When your training budget is tight (and whose isn’t) what are your
options? Training continues, but sometimes on a shoestring. But
you don’t have to make concessions in your budget when it comes to
quality and effectiveness. Many companies operating on a shoestring
are incorporating e-Learning into their education mix. Simply put,
e-Learning delivers more training to more people, and can be very
cost effi cient, leaving more for your bottom line. e-Learning can be
used alone or coupled with instructor-led learning, which allows the
classroom learning experience to expand to day-to-day use. Since
learning isn’t an event, but an ongoing process, e-Learning supports
and augments each instructor-led learning experience. There are
other advantages, too:
- Employees learn when they have the time, increasing participation.
- A wide range of courses means employees receive all the training they need.
- When new training needs arise, they can be met immediately.
- Consistent training anywhere in the world.
