Microsoft Word 2007 - Turn Off the Ribbon

Some people would prefer to have as much screen space as possible when working on a document. To do this, Word 2007 allows you to turnoff the Ribbon.

The Ribbon will still be available when you want it, all you need to do is click on the appropriate menu (Home, Insert, Page Layout, etc.) and it appears. It then discreetly goes away when you are no longer using it.

There are several ways to turn off the Ribbon:

•  Click the Down arrow to the right of the Quick Access toolbar button
   and select Minimize the Ribbon.

•  Press Ctrl-F1 to turn the Ribbon off. Press Ctrl-F1 to make it appear
   again.

•  Double-click the current tab above the Ribbon to make it disappear
   and then reappear again.
