Radius for c360 uses the same results-oriented user interface style that is employed in the new Microsoft Office 2007 product suite. Menus and toolbars have been replaced with an intuitive design called the Ribbon. The Ribbon is designed to help you quickly find the commands that you need to complete a task. Commands are organized in logical groups, which are collected together under tabs. Each tab relates to a type of activity, such as working with a database or formatting a chart. To reduce clutter, some tabs are shown only when needed. For example, the Table Tools tab is shown only when a table is selected.

You can minimize the Ribbon by double-clicking any one of the tabs on the Ribbon. Once minimized, the Ribbon will appear only when clicking a tab and selecting a function from the Ribbon. To restore it, simply double-click any one of the tabs once again.

Keyboard commands on the Ribbon will appear and be activated by pressing the Alt key on your keyboard.

Some buttons on the Ribbon have extended functionality dialogs associated with them. If this is the case, such as with the Padding collection on the Format tab for the Textbox Tools group, you will notice a small arrow in the lower right corner of the button. You can click that arrow to bring up the properties dialog.
