Designer Ribbon Overview

Following the structure of Microsoft® Office, the Home tab reflects all the most common functionality that is required.

Clipboard functionality for easy Copy, Cut, and Pasting. In the Font group you can easily set the font type, size, color, and outline the text. You can outline your text and objects and borders can be easily set and colors can chosen.

The main objects for inserting are also available from the Home tab in the Insert group. The Properties window is called from the Home tab too as well as the option to change the preview to white on black.

It is also possible to minimize the ribbon if you need more space on your design because you are using a smaller screen.

Right mouse click on one of the available tabs to open the context menu and select Minimize the Ribbon.

Now you only see the headers of the tabs and more space is offered. Clicking on the tab will have the Ribbon information expand. After selecting the functionality it will close again.

To restore the Ribbon, simple right mouse click on one of the tabs and deselect Minimize the Ribbon from the context menu.
