The Ribbon

The Ribbon is the display you see at the top of the Microsoft PowerPoint window. It is where you access commands for Microsoft PowerPoint.

Microsoft PowerPoint 2013 has hundreds of commands for working with different presentations. To make it easier for users to find the commands they are looking for, commands are organised onto eight main tabs: Home - commands for formatting presentations. Insert – to insert tables, clip art, pictures, links, headers and footers. Design - to change page setup, slide orientation, fonts and styles. Transitions - to add and effects to a slide. Animations - to add animation to text in a slide and to manage the order. Slide Show - tab to finalise the slide show details and timings. Review - tab to check spelling. View - access the different presentation views, to show and hide the ruler.
