How do I navigate the Microsoft Menu?

Answer

Each Microsoft product (Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc.) has what's called the Ribbon at the top of the page.  The Ribbon is broken down into different tabs which each contain different groups.  The Ribbon also contains the quick access tool bar at the top. 

Below you can see the Ribbon from Microsoft Word.  The Ribbon on other Microsoft products will look similar or may look different if you are working in the downloaded application versus in the online version of these products. 

The Ribbon is broken into 3 different parts: 

  • The Quick Access Bar

This is where you can name your file and turn on autosave options.
