Introduction of MS word window

Title Bar

A title bar is a horizontal bar at the top of a window that contains a variety of controls and options for managing the window.

Menu Bar

The menu bar in Microsoft Word is a graphical user interface element that provides access to commonly used functions within the application. It is located directly below the title bar and contains all commands needed to operate Microsoft Word

RIBBON:

The ribbon is a set of toolbars at the top of the window in Office programs designed to help you quickly find the commands that you need to complete a task.

Ruler:

The Ruler is located below the Ribbon around the edge of the document. It is used to change the format of the document, i.e. it helps you align the text, tables, graphics and other elements of your document. It uses inches or centimeters as the measurements unit and gives you an idea about the size of the document.

Quick Access Toolbar:

The Quick Access Toolbar is a collection of shortcuts to the features, options, commands, or option groups that you use frequently. By default, the toolbar is hidden below the ribbon in Microsoft 365 apps, but you can choose to show it and move it to display above the ribbon instead.
