If you want to increase your workspace you can minimize the Ribbon. The tabs are the only parts of the Ribbon that are displayed when the Ribbon is minimized.
- Right-click anywhere on the Ribbon or the Quick Access Toolbar and click Minimize the Ribbon.
- Only the Ribbon Tab Bar is visible on a minimized Ribbon.
- To restore the Ribbon to its original size, right-click anywhere on the Ribbon and uncheck Minimize the Ribbon, or double-click any tab on the Ribbon.
You can temporarily maximize the Ribbon by clicking on any tab on the Ribbon. When you click a control in the Ribbon or on another element in the page, the Ribbon will return to the minimized state until you uncheck the Minimize the Ribbon command as explained above.
