3.1.5 Beyond the Ribbon

Some features that had me navigate beyond the ribbon stressed me out when it came to skills & challenge labs. A big feature was the dialogue box launcher in the bottom right, which was a completely new concept to me. I have never used Word in the past since I own a MacBook. Even so, I tend to only utilize Align, Text Size, and Font. My eyes couldn't believe all the things I had to click! I'm surprised I managed to pass MO-100 with a higher score than I expected because I suddenly forgot the skills I learned.

  1. Yes, the dialog box gives you more options than what a ribbon can display :-)

    Glad your eyes are now opened to far more options and functionalities ^_^

  5. I was on the same boat when taking the test! Professor Wu, said it looked like I was about to cry at one point. Taking the test was different on a MacBook.

    1. Thanks for telling me! Do you think the font of the text is too thin as well? I definitely need to make some changes for my content to be able to read comfortably ASAP.

  7. All platforms or operating systems have their own type of "ribbon" tool. It can definitely get confusing trying to navigate all the tools we are learning.
