So it works the way you want
MS Word – Customize Ribbon
When Microsoft first introduced the ribbon in their Office Suite, it caused quite a divide among those who use productivity software all day long. Some loved it, and others preferred the classic menu system that is almost as old as the graphical user interface itself.
Ultimately, the ribbon won the war and seems to be here to stay. Fortunately, even if you're not a fan, you can customize the Microsoft Office ribbon to better suit your workflow and needs.
We're using Office 365 as part of Microsoft 365. This means that the version these instructions are based on is for the latest version of Office at the time of writing. There should be little (if any) difference in how ribbon customization works, as all versions of Office are now essentially unified.
