Excel Ribbon Commands Collapsed

Hide the Ribbon Commands menu in #Excel (or any MS Office program) to free up extra screen space! #twinztalk #twinztechtip

If you use Excel frequently and access commands via the Ribbon, you are taking the SLOW path AND losing precious workspace to consistently display the Ribbon.

Hide it and only display it when you do need it!

And you will need it less and less if you adopt the following behavior changes:

1️⃣ Use basic keyboard shortcuts.

No need to get crazy — see Tip #9 — https://lnkd.in/ehygTYj

2️⃣ Take advantage of the Quick Access Toolbar.

Ok, I do get crazy here (everything I use frequently is one it!), but no need to. Shoot to put 10–15 items and build from there.

3️⃣ Use the Right-Click menu for menu shortcut commands.

I have found that most of what is needed, if 1️⃣ & 2️⃣ don’t fit the bill, is accessible via the Right-Click menu.

Just a few simple habit changes and you are on your way to a much more productive Excel user!
