In this section, you will find a table of all commands in the ribbon interface and the respective corresponding menu command in the classic menu interface.
Tip 1: You can switch the user interface between ribbon and classic menus at any time. To do so, choose the command File | Options in the ribbon (or choose Tools > Options in the classic menu interface). In the dialog box, switch to the Appearance tab and click on the User interface button. The program will display a dialog box in which you can choose the desired user interface.
Tip 2: Use the "hamburger menu" (the icon 
on the left in the Quick access toolbar) if you still want to access the classic menu commands from the ribbon interface.
The subsequent table contains the following columns:
▪Left column: The left column lists all ribbon commands in the program, listed according to the order of ribbon tabs and in the following format: Ribbon tab | Command group | Command
▪Right column: The right column lists all corresponding classic menu commands in the program in the following format: Menu > Command
| Example: The ribbon command File | Document | Save can be found under File > Save in the classic menu interface. |
| Another entry >> is also added for some commands if the command can only be found in the submenu of an icon or in a dialog box. |
Thus, here is the aforementioned table:
