# RibbonFormattingTab Class

> The WPF.RibbonFormattingTab class represents a ribbon tab for setting font and paragraph attributes, formatting styles and for handling the clipboard. It is inherited from the System.Windows.Controls.Ribbon.RibbonTab class and must be hosted in a System.Windows.Controls.Ribbon.Ribbon object. It can be connected with a WPF.TextControl through the WPF.TextControl.RibbonFormattingTab property. Each item has a name, available through its Name property, which corresponds with a member of the WPF.RibbonFormattingTab.RibbonItem enumeration. The FrameworkElement.FindName method can be used to get a certain item and manipulate, move or delete it.
