[nabs-l] word ribbons

[Cindy Bennett]

I am unfamiliar with the virtual ribbon and am definitely interested
in learning about it, because the ribbons are annoying.

But, the pressing space often works. You often have to tab through a
lot of options though. Several menus can be found by right clicking or
pressing the applications key. And, to get to the style bar to set
headings and such, press control-shift-s.
