Microsoft Office 2019 displays commands in a series of icons stored on different tabs. This combination of icons and tabs is known as the Ribbon interface, which appears in Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, and Access. The following tables show the commands grouped under each ribbon tab for each of the five programs.
- To use the ruler to set and remove tab stops, see Using the ruler in Word. While Word for the web recognizes tabs in a document, it does not support setting or removing tabs. Open the document in the desktop app to set and remove tabs.
- The settings in some versions of the Mac operating system (OS) and some utility applications might conflict with keyboard shortcuts and function key operations in Office for Mac. If you don't find a keyboard shortcut here that meets your needs, you can create a custom keyboard shortcut.
