I just acquired Office 2021. I noticed a blank line above the ribbon. Marked in red on the screenshot.
What is it and how do I get rid of it?
Thank you.

Normal spacing between the Quick Access Toolbar (and document name/title - hidden to the right because of the number of icons in the QAT) (above), and Menu titles/headings (below)

EDIT On second glance, I'd be editing the QAT. Why so many icons? Not intended to duplicate of the ordinary menu structure below, and defeats the purpose ("quick action") if you have to take extra steps to scroll off the end to find additional icons

Word heading from my Microsoft 365 subscription. The version of Word would, of course, be current.

Thank you.
I'll work on the QAB.
(Sometimes I have what I want on the QAB and can close the ribbon altogether)

You can create new custom tabs and buttons (Not QAB) and add buttons to current tabs in the settings.
If you have a particular set of functions you commonly like to use, you could manipulate the ribbon by adding and do away with the QAB


I or others can help if you need it 🙏

    …still on a horse.
If application space is as important to you as it is to me, you can choose the taskbar option to "Hide the Taskbar". For me, I gain three whole lines of additional vertical space by choosing this option. If I ever need the taskbar, I simply tap the Windows Key or move the cursor to the bottom of the screen.

MS, in their infinite wisdom, thought there should be big fat-a$$ buttons here and there, while others can be normal size...,
henceforth the wasted space...

Used to be able to disable that Phat design...

I'll try to remove that share button MS forced on us and I never use.and maybe the ribbon could then move up a little.
