The Ribbon is a rectangle at the top of the window with a number of symbols on it, and the symbols represent different kinds of commands, options, buttons, settings, and so on. There's a Task tab, Resource tab, Report tab, Project tab, and View tab. On every tab, there are groups, and each group has a number of commands. There is also what we call contextual tabs or those that appear only in certain circumstances. Some commands are enabled while some are disabled or greyed out. When you have been using Project 2013 for a while, you might come to a moment when you would like to put the ribbon away to give you a lot more space to work in. Or perhaps you'd like to customize the ribbon. Find out how to do these and learn more about the ribbon in this video.

Welcome back to our course on Project 2013. In this section, we’re going to look at the Ribbon. So we’re going to start with Blank Project and the Ribbon is this rectangular area that you can see towards the top of the window. The Ribbon replaces the old menu system and in most of the components of Office. The replacement started in Office 2007 and although they’ve progressed at different paces within the different components in Office 2013, the Ribbon is pretty much universally now at the same stage of development. So if you’ve used the Ribbon in something like Word or Excel, then in Project there won’t be any great surprises. The Ribbon actually is a rectangle with a number of symbols on it and the symbols represent different kinds of commands, options, buttons, settings, and so on. And in the case of Project, we’re going to be looking at an awful lot of those during this course.

Now you can see one set of these buttons here and the buttons on the Ribbon are divided into groups, and in turn each of the sets of groups occupy one tab. Now the tabs are along the top here. There’s a Task tab, a Resource tab, a Report tab, Project tab and View tab, and they are pretty much always there when you’re using Project 2013. Currently, I have the Task tab selected. You can see that sort of rectangle around it that tells me it’s selected. And on the Task tab, you have groups. There’s a View Group, a Clipboard Group, a Font Group, a Schedule Group, and so on. And each group has a number of buttons, a number of commands in it. The View Group here has just one that’s called Gantt Chart. The Clipboard has four the Font has about seven or eight. Now depending on the resolution of your screen, you may see more or less commands in these groups. You may indeed see more or less groups because what Project 2013 does is to fit as much in as it can and it will vary to some extent depending on the size of your screen, the resolution, etc. and one or two other things that we’re going to look at in just a moment. So that’s the Task tab. Let’s look at the Resource tab.

Click on Resource. You can see the Resource tab that has its own set of groups: View, Assignments, Insert, Properties, Level. Report tab, Project tab, View tab, we’ll be looking at all of these during the course.
