To remove a built-in tab or group from the Ribbon, you need to know its name. The
AccessRibbonControls.xls worksheet is useful for finding the names of tabs or groups: just sort the
worksheet by Control Type, and look at the tab or group rows. To save time, the names of the stan-
dard tabs are listed in Table 15.4.
