⻬ Groups: Buttons are arranged logically into groups. For example, all the
paragraph formatting options are located within the Paragraph group of
the Home tab of the Ribbon.
⻬ Galleries: Galleries are collections of preset choices. Most of these
choices are in the form of small thumbnail previews that show you how
the final effects will look. Many galleries can also be seen as drop-down
galleries so that you can see even more thumbnail previews.
⻬ Dialog box launcher: Dialog box launchers are small arrows below some
groups that launch a related dialog box.
⻬ Status bar: The status bar provides information and viewing options.
