Disable Auto Hide Ribbon in Microsoft Office
Disable Auto Hide Ribbon in Microsoft Office
Were familiar with ribbon interface from Microsoft Office 2007. And now the latest version is Office 2016. In ribbon interface, everything you need is just a click away. Here, you dont need to search for an option through drop down menu.
The main problem of the ribbon is, it reduces your typing/ working space. Thats why your system may hide the ribbon automatically. But if youre not tensed with the working space, then you should keep the ribbon turned on. Definitely it will make your tasks more convenient.

And always remember the keyboard shortcut for this option -
