Collapsing the Office 2007 Ribbon to get more space in your program

Posted on July 27, 2009 by LukeChung

When moving from earlier versions of Microsoft Office programs (Access, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) to Office 2007, the new Ribbon can be very difficult to get used to. One common complaint is that it takes up so much space. However, did you know that the ribbon can be easily collapsed to give you extra vertical space?

Hey, Luke hello from Puerto Rico. .

Did you know you can also hide/show the ribbon using VBA

DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarYes
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo
