About Organizing Commands and Controls on a Ribbon Panel

Commands and controls on a ribbon panel can be organized using

• Rows - Horizontal organization containers that determine the order and position of commands and controls on a ribbon panel. Rows run horizontally on a ribbon panel no matter if the ribbon is displayed horizontally or vertically.
• Sub-panels - Sub grouping containers that allow you to organize rows within a row on a ribbon panel. For example, you can use a sub-panel to divide up a row into one or more rows. This is how many ribbon panels are organized, a single row of commands with large buttons and then the same row is divided into multiple smaller rows of commands and controls.
• Fold panels - Similar to sub-panels, fold panels collapse to just show images only when space is limited on the ribbon. Button Style must be set to Large with Text in order for a fold panel to work. Fold panels can be converted into sub-panels.
• Slide-out - Area that contains rows which should be hidden by default, and displayed only when the ribbon panel is expanded. A down arrow to the right of a ribbon panel’s title indicates that the ribbon panel can be expanded.
• Drop-down menu - Single button control that allows the grouping of multiple commands.
• Menu separators - Vertical line that is used to create a visual grouping of related commands, controls, sub-panels, and other items on a ribbon panel within a row.
