The Ribbon is the heart of the new Excel 2007 user interface. Based on a core of standard tabs to which various so-called contextual tabs are added as needed in formatting and editing of specific elements (such as data tables, charts, pivot tables, and graphic objects), the Ribbon brings together most every command you’re going to need when performing particular tasks in Excel. Refer to Color Plates 1-7, and 8-10 for examples of the tabs you can encounter on the Ribbon and their particular command buttons.
