The Quick Access Toolbar:
The Quick Access Toolbar is always visible. It is a way of quickly
accessing commonly used commands without having to go to a
particular tab. When you start Word you are given a standard set
of commands but you can change what appears on the Quick
Access Toolbar by adding commands to it.
Customizing the Quick Access toolbar
You can also customize the Quick Access Toolbar by adding
frequently used commands, such as New or Open, or by
adding commands directly from the ribbon. Here are two
ways you can add additional commands:
*Click the arrow at the end of the Quick Access Toolbar
and then select a command from the Customize Quick Access
Toolbar list.
*Right-click a command on the ribbon and then click Add to
Quick Access Toolbar.
*To remove a command from the Quick Access Toolbar,
right-click the command and then click Remove From Quick
Access Toolbar.
The Ribbon:
The ribbon is made up of tabs, groups and commands. Click on any
tab to see the commands for that tab.
Tabs
Dialog box launcher
Font Group
As with all Office 2013 programs, the goal of the ribbon is to make
working with document content as intuitive as possible. The ribbon is
dynamic, meaning that as its width changes, its buttons adapt to the
available space. As a result, a button might be large or small, it might
or might not have a label, or it might even change to an entry in a list.
Buttons

Whenever you have a question about Word 2013, your first recourse
is the Word Help system
. This system is a combination
of articles, videos, and training tools and information available from
the Office website for reference when you are online, and basic
information stored on your computer for reference when you are
offline.
