Do you find that the Ribbon is gets in the way every now and then, and steals valuable screen realestate?  Here is a simple solution.

To minimise the Ribbon, simply double click on the tabs above the ribbon.  This will minimize the ribbon to just the tabs.  Instead of double clicking, you can use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+F1.

To restore the Ribbon to its glory, simply double click on the tabs again, or use CTRL+F1
