The Ribbon as a part of the Microsoft Office Fluent user interface, is
designed to help user quickly find the commands that they need to
complete a task. Commands are organized in logical groups that are
collected together under tabs. Each tab relates to a type of activity,
such as writing or laying out a page. To reduce screen clutter, some
tabs are shown only when they are needed. When the Ribbon is minimized,
only the tabs are visible.
There is no way to delete or replace the Ribbon with the toolbars and menus from the earlier versions of Microsoft Office. However, user can minimize the Ribbon to make more space available on your screen.
