Tabs The Ribbon is made up of different tabs. Here we've shown the Message tab. Each tab is related to specific kinds of work that you do in Outlook. On the tabs are the commands and buttons that you've used before.

 Groups Each tab has several groups that show related items together. Basic Text is a group.

 Commands The Bold button and the Font list (showing the Calibri font) are commands. A command is a button, a box to enter information, or a menu. The most commonly used commands, such as the Paste command, have the largest buttons.
