Maximizing usable space in the program window


You can increase the amount of space available inside the program window by hiding the ribbon, the formula bar, or the row and column labels. To hide the ribbon, double click the active tab label. The tab labels remain visible at the top of the program window, but the tab content is hidden. To temporarily redisplay the ribbon, click the tab label you want. Then click any button on the tab, or click away from the tab, to rehide it. To permanently redisplay the ribbon, double-click any tab label.


Short Key:  Press Ctrl+F1 to hide and unhide the ribbon.
