Great tip Chandoo! I really need to spend some time customizing the ribbon for my needs. One feature I can't seem to find is the old "Links" option where you can see any broken links or outside links in the spreadsheet. Do you know where it is? Thanks!
is there some kind of setting to enable this? - it doesn't work for me, but it might be user error 🙂
You have to have the ribbon pinned down for this to work. To pin or unpin it, double click the ribbon. It saves me alot of space to have it unpinned.
How do you "pin down" the ribbon? I can't get this to work either.
To get this to work, the mouse cursor needs to be in the ribbon area.

Excellent Tip. Really saves a lot of time..................
Mouse wheel scroll works first but then it stopped working. I have repaired office 2010 but still no luck.
- Is it due to some other program installed.
- Do I need to use only one type of mouse
How to enable the scroll to tab through the ribbon when the wheel is scrolled. I like the feaute but it broke so easily and there is no help provided how to enable it.
Really a very nice trick to navigate between the menu bar...
