The User Interface

You can choose between a classic user interface (UI) or a ribbon-based user interface.

The ribbon-based workspace which is organized by tabs and logical groups of commands can replace the classic workspace which provides the traditional menu bar and toolbars.

Optionally, you can display the menu bar along within the ribbon-based user interface.

This chapter discusses the specific elements for the:

• Classic User Interface

• Ribbon-based User Interface

Both user interface types share common elements:

• Start Page

• Graphics Area

• Quick Access Toolbar

• Shortcut Menus

• Palettes

• Command Window

• Status Bar

To switch between the user interface types, use the Workspace drop-down list from the Quick Access Toolbar.
