You may have other commands you’d like to gather together in a customised tab. It’s particularly great for macros I don’t use all the time so I forget their keyboard shortcuts. You can add a your own customised tab to the Word ribbon!įor example, I have added a tab called MB Macros to my Word ribbon as a way of easily getting access to particular macros.
