Module 11 : Create a Custom Tab

Duration: Approx 20 minutes

11.1 Create a Custom Tab


Within Excel you can use the Ribbon customization tool to change the layout of your work space to make it more suitable for your needs.

This can be useful if you find it cumbersome to sift through multiple options to get to a certain function or command that you use regularly. With the ribbon customization tool you can ensure that all of the regularly used commands and functions are easily accessible to you in a layout that you find is best suited to how you use your work space. What's more, one of the customizable options at your disposal is the ability to create a custom tab to contain your most used commands. Custom tabs can then be used to contain just those items that you need.
