The ribbon replaced the menu bar and toolbars in which version of MS Word?
- A.Word 2003
- B.Word 2007
- C.Word 2010
- D.Word 2013
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is B, Word 2007. The ribbon, a strip of tabs each divided into groups of related commands, was introduced across Microsoft Office in the 2007 release and took the place of the drop down menu bar and the floating toolbars used until then. Word 2007 also brought in the round Office Button at the top left corner and the new .docx file format.
Option A, Word 2003, is the last version that used the old menu bar with File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, Tools, Table, Window and Help, and the standard and formatting toolbars. Option C, Word 2010, kept the ribbon but replaced the Office Button with the File tab and its Backstage view. Option D, Word 2013, added Read Mode and a Design tab, but the ribbon itself was already six years old by then.
