The Ribbon is designed to help you quickly find the commands that you need to complete a task. Commands are organized in logical groups, which are collected together under tabs. Each tab relates to a type of activity, such as writing or laying out a page.
To reduce clutter, some tabs are shown only when needed. For example, the Picture Tools tab is shown only when a picture is selected. Source: Microsoft Office Tutorial.
About Home Ribbon
Ribbons are the list of different tools available in any Microsoft products. We generally see this in top of the application interface. By default there are seven (7) ribbons available in MS Excel. Such as Home, Insert, Pagelayout, Formulas, Data, Review and View. Other than these default ribbons, user can also load Developer ribbon in this list. As these ribbons contains all the tools required to work in MS Excel so these are must learning.
Let’s see the different tools and features available in the first ribbon, Home.
The first tools which we see in Home ribbon is the Clipboard. The use of clipboard is for copying, cutting, format painter and pasting the content as per your own wish.
The second tool is Font. By the help of this you can change the font type and size, make it bold and italics, assign color to your sentences, change the color of the font and can arrange and assign different border types to your data table.
The third tool in Home ribbon is Alignment. Alignment tools help the user to align the text as per his/ her wish. This also provide the option of changing the Indent of any text. It has the option called Wrap text. This features allows the user to fit-in a length sentence in a column of smaller width. This tool also contains the option of merging two or more cells and further align them as per your need.
