Microsoft® Office PowerPoint® 2007 Plain & Simple

Using the Ribbon

The ribbon is your control central in PowerPoint 2007. The default ribbon consists of seven tabs, although contextual tabs may appear now and then when working with certain types of objects or functions. An eighth tab, Add-Ins, appears if you install third-party programs and features such as Microsoft PowerPoint Presenter Tools, or a tool like the one I used to capture the screens for this book.
