When you need as much space as possible on screen to view a document, you can collapse (or minimize) the Ribbon to only its labels by double-clicking the label of the tab you're currently using.

When you typing a document, Microsoft Word recognizes certain values, such as Web and UNC addresses (a network resource), and automatically makes them hyperlinks.
