How do I get the Design Tab to show in my tool bar?

[mmurtha]

I was watching a help video about using Templates for documents like business
proposals. The video said to go to the "Design Tab" in the tool bar, but I
don't have one.

How or where do I customize my tool bar so the design tab shows up?

Hi MMurtha,

The tabs are context sensitive.

In Word, if, for example, you have inserted a table (which includes several of the 'Coverpage' choices, a SmartArt object or a
Chart from the Insert tab and then you select that item you will have a Design tab available for that element of your document.

If you are using Powerpoint 2007 then the Design tab is one of the core tabs always available for design of a slide, similar to the
Page Layout tab in Word.

Bob,

Thanks for your help. That helped me tremendously!

The ribbon cannot be customized (at least not via the user interface).

What you saw was probably a contextual tab; for example, when the insertion
point is inside a table cell, there will be Table Tools Layout and Table
Tools Design tabs on the ribbon.
