You can click on it to open up additional commands and options related to the group. In some cases, you’ll see a tiny arrow at the bottom of the group. For instance, basic text-formatting commands are put together in one group, paragraph formatting commands in another group, and so on. While you can simply type out your text in the document, commands empower you to format/ insert/ handle this text in multiple ways.Ĭommands are grouped together based on their functionality for easy access. These enable you to use your Microsoft Word templates software to do something to your word document (or post, template, etc.). Commonly used Tabs include Home (the default Tab that opens up when you open a Word document), File (for File operations like Save, New, etc.), Insert, Page Layout, View, etc. Each tab is an individual screen available on the Ribbon.
