In addition to the standard tabs in the Ribbon , there are Contextual Tabs that appear when you create or select certain types of objects such as pictures, tables, or charts. These Contextual Tabs always display to the right of the standard tabs, have a different highlight color and contain commands related to the selected object. All Contextual Tabs display a heading. Depending on the object type inserted or selected, more than one Contextual Tab may appear under the heading. When you deselect the object the Contextual Tabs automatically disappear.
