Catherine, They say that great minds think alike! I had been trying to imagine what a ribbon looks like myself - and I will be interested in any replies you get. I understand that when you press the alt key you are taken to the ribbon and can navigate between its various tabs (like property sheets?) with the left and right cursor keys. On a particular ttab you move between groups of items by means of the tab key - but that is where my understanding ends. i look forward to any enlightenment.
