Microsoft Word’s commands (2) are accessed via ribbon tabs (1), and split into groups (3). Each group is identified with a name, and the active tab is outlined with a border to differentiate it from the others:

Here is an overview of each of the tabs.

• File: Access Backstage view, where you can work with your document as a whole.
• Home: Perform basic formatting and editing tasks.
• Insert: Add other elements to your document, such as charts, pictures, videos, cover pages, headers, and footers.
• Design: Change the appearance of your document.
• Layout: Change the setup of your document and its elements.
• References: Manage document resources, such as the table of contents and index.
• Mailings: Create a mail merge document.
• Review: Perform research and review the document.
• View: View the document and/or open Word windows in different ways.

Remember that Word 2016 also features contextual tabs. These are special tabs that only appear when you are working with a specific object or group of information.
