Minimise the Ribbon in Office 2007

Minimise the Ribbon

If you find the Ribbon is taking up too much space on your screen, try minimising it:

1. To minimise the ribbon, click on any ribbon tab name eg Home, Insert, View etc. (To view buttons on a ribbon, whilst the ribbon is in its minimised state, click on the relevant tab name – the buttons are shown temporarily until a selection is made.)

2. To restore the ribbon to its maximised state, double click on a tab name again.
