AUDIO TEXT

Here you are, with a new version of Excel. When you open Excel you'll see the familiar worksheets you're accustomed to. And you'll also see things that are new at the top of the window.

The old look of Excel menus and buttons has been replaced with this new Ribbon, with tabs you click to get to commands. The Ribbon was developed to make Excel simpler to use, and to help you quickly find and work with the commands you need.

How do you use the Ribbon? Take this course to find out. See what's changed, and why the changes help you make better Excel worksheets, faster.
