Make PowerPoint work for you, by customizing the Ribbon, hiding tabs you don’t use, and organizing tabs in the order of how much you use them. Here’s how.
On PC, either right-click on the ribbon or go to File > Options > Customize Ribbon.
On Mac, go to PowerPoint > Preferences > Ribbon & Toolbar.
Uncheck tabs you don’t want to see and rearrange them in an order that is convenient for you.
You can also reorder or remove individual items within the tabs! I usually hide the Record, Help, and Acrobat ribbons completely.
