- Shortcuts in MS-POWERPOINT
- The ribbon appears as a row of labels or what we call tabs. When you go to a tab, the ribbon for that tab opens and you can see the tools and functions that were formerly in menus and toolbars in earlier versions of PowerPoint. The ribbon tabs group tools and features together based on their purpose.
