How to Display the Ribbon in Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook

0 Comments

How to Display the Ribbon in Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook: To restore your Office ribbon, double-click on the ribbon tab or right-click on the ribbon tab and uncheck “Minimize the Ribbon”. If you don’t see any ribbon tabs, click on the upward arrow icon at the top right corner of the screen and select “Show Tabs and Commands”, then click on “Auto-hide Ribbon”.

If the ribbon in your Excel, Word, or Outlook application suddenly disappears, it is easy to accidentally hide it, and sometimes the tabs disappear as well. In both cases, you can bring it back in your Office application on your Windows or Mac computer with just a few mouse clicks. Here’s how.

Note: The following instructions use Excel for demonstration. You will follow similar steps in both Word and Outlook.

Display Your Office Ribbon When You Can See the Tabs

If you can see the ribbon tabs but don’t see their commands at the top of your Excel, Word, or Outlook application, follow these instructions to display the commands.

One way to show the commands of a tab is to double-click on the tab name. This method works for the current and upcoming Visual Refresh interface of Office.

If your ribbon has completely disappeared, meaning you don’t even see the ribbon tabs in your Excel, Word, or Outlook application, use the following instructions to temporarily or permanently show your ribbon.

To temporarily show your ribbon, at the top right corner of the application, click on the ellipsis.
