Command Tabs
The traditional menus and toolbars have been replaced by a set of Command Tabs. Presented graphically, Command Tabs display the commands that are most relevant for each of the task areas in Microsoft Office Word, PowerPoint, Excel, or Access. For example, Word has Command Tabs for writing, inserting, page layout, working with references, doing mailings, and reviewing documents. Excel has a similar set of Command Tabs that make sense for spreadsheet work: creating worksheets, inserting objects like charts and graphics, page layout, working with formulas, managing data, and reviewing. These Command Tabs simplify accessing application features because they organize the commands in a way that corresponds directly to the tasks people perform in these applications.
