  • Commands – the little buttons that do something, like apply Bold or turn on Center alignment.
• MS Office Button – upper right, round button. Holds file-handling commands, such as Save and Print. Also has program settings through the Word Options button.
• Quick Access Toolbar – very top of screen, to the right of Office button. Area that users can modify to hold frequently used commands.
