Use the New Tab button to create a new tab, and the New Group button to create a new group

within a tab. New tabs and groups are given generic names, so you’ll probably want to give them

more meaningful names. Use the Rename button to rename the selected tab or group. You can also

rename built-in tabs and groups.

To rearrange the order of tabs, groups, or commands, select the item and use the Move Up and

Move Down buttons on the right. Note that you can move a group into a different tab.

Note
Although you cannot remove a built-in tab, you can hide the tab by clearing the check box next to its name. n

Figure 23.5 shows a part of a customized Ribbon. In this case, I added two groups to the View tab

(to the right of the Zoom group): Extra Commands (with four new commands), and Text to

Speech (with two new commands).
