Ribbon in Excel 2016

When you start Excel 2016, you may be surprised by how different it looks from the previous version. The dropdown menu is no longer found in Excel 2016 and is replaced by the Ribbon. The Ribbon is specially designed to make it easier for you to work with Excel. The Ribbon has 7 Standard Tabs namely Home, Insert, Page Layout, Formulas, Data, Review, View. Each tab consists of toolbar groups. In other words, the Ribbon is a combination of a dropdown menu and a toolbar. Not only that, other tabs will appear when we select certain objects. For example, if we click the image on the worksheet, a tab with a toolbar group associated with the image will appear.

Minimize Ribbon

The Ribbon is designed to make it easy and perform commands quickly. However, you can hide the toolbar on the Ribbon (minimize) to expand the display space on the screen. Several ways to minimize the Ribbon:

Click Customize Quick Access Toolbar then click Minimize the Ribbon.

Right click on the Ribbon, then click Minimize the Ribbon.

Double click on the active title on the Ribbon or press [Ctrl + F1]

Restore Ribbon

Click Customize Quick Access Toolbar then click (uncheck) Minimize the Ribbon
Right click on the Ribbon, then click (uncheck) Minimize the Ribbon
Double click on the active tab title on the Ribbon or press [Ctrl + F1]

To use the Ribbon when minimized, all we have to do is click the tab to bring up the toolbars. When we click outside the Ribbon the toolbars will be hidden again.
