The ribbon consists of the backstage view (File) for controlling the product. It also has tabs that contain commands to execute on the file or parts of file. The tabs are:
- Home – main, most used commands, usually doing with basic font and paragraph formatting.

Paragraphs
Formatting paragraphs is important to creating appealing documents. It is also a key part to passing the certification exam. I have added sections on creating headers, section breaks, and creating a Table of Contents to this video. Please let me know if it is helpful.
