How to Show Toolbars in Microsoft Word 2007
Microsoft Word 2007 has a different layout than its predecessors. Unlike earlier versions of Word, the 2007 Word toolbar was replaced by the Ribbon. The Ribbon contains the Microsoft Office Button, Tabs, Quick Access Toolbar, Groups and Commands. The default location of the Quick Access Toolbar is above the Ribbon, but it may be customized. As you work in Word, you may realize you need to display other tools you use frequently. You can display these tools and customize Word 2007 to better suit your needs.
