Customization options. You can tune Ribbon in a way that organizes tabs and commands in the order you want, hides or shows the Ribbon, and hides those commands that are used less frequently. Additionally, you can export or import your customized feed.

What cannot be configured: You can't reduce the size of the ribbon, or the size of text or icons on the ribbon. The only way to do this is to change the screen resolution to resize the entire page content.

When customizing the ribbon settings apply only to that Office program where you work this moment. For example, if you want to customize the Ribbon in PowerPoint, those changes won't appear in Excel. If you want to make similar settings in other Office applications, you'll have to open each one to make the same changes.

In Office, you can customize the ribbon and toolbars to your liking, showing frequently used commands and hiding those you rarely use. You can change the default tabs that appear or create your own tabs and groups for frequently used commands.

Note: However, you cannot rename standard commands and change the icons assigned to them or their order.


Here's how to customize your feed:

Customizing the Quick Access Toolbar

If you just need to quickly access a few commands, use the panel quick access. These are icons that always appear above the ribbon, no matter which tab is selected.


Collapse or expand the ribbon

You can collapse the ribbon to show only the tabs.

Rolling up the tape during operation

Unrolling the tape during operation

Collapse the feed when opening a file

By default, the ribbon is expanded every time you open a file, but you can change this setting to always have the ribbon minimized.

Conditional formatting is a way of highlighting messages that meet certain conditions in a list using colors, fonts, and styles. The user specifies conditions that the incoming message must meet, such as name or address Email sender, and only such messages are subject to conditional formatting.

For example, you can use a conditional rule to make all messages from your manager appear in red.

If you want to make additional changes to the text of your emails, you can change the default text font or color.

Note: In Microsoft Outlook 2007, using the function Organize it was possible to create rules for conditional formatting message text. In Microsoft Outlook 2010 and later, conditional formatting is available in the dialog box.

High rate green color encourages site visitors to contact you with a letter.

Visit your page at least once a day to update the date of your last visit to the site and show that you are interested in reading messages on the site and are open to communication.


A balanced, serious approach:

Experiment with the text of your profile, make it clear that you are committed to a serious relationship.


How to avoid mistakes due to lack of experience and practice:

If you receive a lot of messages that you are not interested in answering, then it makes sense to think about how to change the text of the questionnaire and come up with new answers to the questions. Try not to respond with silence to boring requests, worsening your , and more often change the text of the questionnaire so as to politely prevent others from writing messages that you do not need.

Visit the site more often and correct those answers that many people want to ridicule or pick on. Polish your answers little by little.
