Customizing the Ribbon Word 2013

Customizing the Ribbon

You can customize the Ribbon by creating your own tabs with the commands you want to use. Commands are always housed within a group, and you can create as many groups as you want in order to keep your tab organized. If you want, you can even add commands to any of the default tabs, as long as you create a custom group in the tab.

To customize the Ribbon:

  1. Right-click the Ribbon, then select Customize the Ribbon... from the drop-down menu.
