Tabs
These are similar to the menu system of MS-Word 2003. Instead of having drop down menus, MS-Word 2007 creates a Ribbon system, where buttons and commands are grouped under the tabs. Some groups include a dialog launcher button in their lower right corner to bring up the additional options. Different types of tabs are as follows:
1. Home tab is used to change font, styles, setting of paragraph etc.
2. Insert tab is used to insert page breaks, tables, illustrations, links, header and footer, text and symbols etc.
3. Page Layout tab is used to change themes of a page, margin of a page, orientation of a page, insert a page border, column, format paragraph etc.
4. References tab is used to insert table of contents, foot notes, citation and bibliography, captions, index, mark entry for index etc.
5. Mailings tab is used to create envelopes, labels, start mail merge, write and insert fields and preview results etc.
6. Review tab is used for proofing, comments, tracking, comparing the documents etc.
7. View tab is used to change the outline or draft views, display the ruler or document map, zoom, switch windows etc.
