Well, now there are some simple shortcuts to minimize the Microsoft Office Ribbon menu, you can just simply double-click one of the Ribbon menu tabs like Home or Insert and the Ribbon menu will compress up to the tab line, to undo this just double-click again any of the tabs; to temporary bring the menu back you only need to click any tab. Another way to acomplished the same thing is by going to the up-right corner of the application window and click the arrow. And last you can simply use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F1.
