About the Office Fluent User Interface
The Microsoft Office Fluent user interface (UI) has been completely redesigned. The old menus and toolbars are now integrated into a band called the “Ribbon,” making it easier to find the tools you need and create the results you want. Topics in this guide include: • Navigate the New UI• Understand the Quick
Access Toolbar• Minimize the Ribbon• Understand the File Menu
and New File Format• Use Microsoft Office System
Help
Section and page Breaks Use page breaks when
format stays the same Use section breaks (next
page) when format changes or between chapters For example, use for
landscape table or figures! That page will be landscape and the rest portrait.
When all else fails If the table of contents will not cooperate after
the last time you refresh insert leader dots with the tab.
If a table or figure will not print with the document print it separate.
If on a page you can not get the page number to align according to the margin requirements, print up the page, measure, move number, and repeat until it works.
