The Ribbon's Tabs in Word 2007 - Word 2016/365. Microsoft Word adopted the Ribbon User Interface (UI) with the introduction of Office 2007. This page explores some of the variations on that Ribbon through the versions. In composing this page, a deliberate choice was made to not resize images. This makes for a wide page, especially on mobile devices.
Not Ribbon Tabs - Backstage - The Office Button and File Button. On the left end of the Ribbon is a special button to take you to Word's backstage. In Word 2007 this is the multi-color Office button. In the later versions it appears to be a blue tab named File. You do not see the document when you click on one of these. You also do not see any of the Ribbon tabs when your are in Backstage view.
