Customizing the Ribbon
Be careful about moving groups by clicking the Move Up or Move Down
button. Clicking these buttons too many times can move a group to a differ-
ent tab on the Ribbon.
Adding, removing, and renaming tabs,
groups, and commands
In the Options dialog box (refer to Figure 1-1), display and select the tab,
group, or command you want to add, remove, or rename. Then proceed to
add, remove, or rename it. (Earlier in this chapter, “Displaying and select-
ing tab, group, and command names” explains how to display items in the
Options dialog box.)
Adding items to the Ribbon
Follow these steps to add a tab, group, or command to the Ribbon:
1. On the left side of the Customize Ribbon tab of the Options dialog
box, select the tab, group, or command you want to add.
For example, to add the Tables group to the Home tab, select the
Tables group.
2. On the right side of the dialog box, select the tab or group where you
want to place the item.
If you’re adding a tab to the Ribbon, select a tab. The tab you add will go
after the tab you select.
3. Click the Add button.
Removing items from the Ribbon
Follow these steps to remove a tab, group, or command from the Ribbon:
1. On the right side of the Customize Ribbon tab of the Options dialog
box, select the tab, group, or command you want to remove.
2. Click the Remove button.
Except for tabs you create yourself, you can’t remove tabs from the
Ribbon. And you can’t remove a command unless you remove it from a
group you created yourself.
Renaming tabs and groups
Sorry, you can’t rename a command. As for tabs and groups, you can rename
them, but only if you created them yourself. Tabs and groups that came with
Office can’t be renamed. Follow these steps to rename a tab or group:
1. On the right side of the Customize Ribbon tab of the Options dialog
box, select the tab or group you want to rename.
