Proceed as follows:

  1. Use the listbox at the top left of the window beneath Select area to select the Ribbon tab the functions of which you want to copy to your Ribbon tab. The functions of the selected Ribbon tab will then be diplayed beneath the listbox. You can also add functions of the transparent toolbar to your Ribbon tab if desired. To do this, select Transparent toolbar beneath Select area.
