MICROSOFT HAS UNVEILED a new version of its Office suite user interface, all ready for the imminent release of Office 2019.
The main change is a long-overdue simplification of the ‘ribbon’ interface which has been overhauled for web-based services such as Office 365 and Office.com.
The default is now a scaled-down ribbon with only the most commonly-used tasks shown as buttons on a single line. But if you’re one of those people who needs more (Microsoft would probably call you a power-user) then you can reinstate the fancier one with three lines instead.
