> Ribbon? 😕

“Ribbons” (see [picture](https://www.computerworld.com/common/images/article/office2007b/fig1.jpg)) are the blasted, evil things that replaced old-fashioned “menus” in recent versions of Office. They neither look nor function like ribbons; they are more like tabs with severe identity crises, the inevitable result of Microsoft’s design-by-focus-groups approach.

The “No spacing” button is on the far right of that picture, and hopefully it’s there in your copy of Word too.
