Unravelling the Office Ribbon

At last!  Microsoft has made public the super useful Search Commands tool for Microsoft Office 2007!  It has been an internal dogfood tool for a pretty long time now and I find it invaluable.  Basically, it adds an extra tab to the Office ribbon called "Search" from which you can search for a command rather than hunt around for it in the ribbon.  This tool is great for people who are lost with the change from Office 2003 to Office 2007 and spend far too much time roaming around the ribbon tabs looking for the button that will insert a footnote into their document!

Just go to the new tab, type "footnote" in the search box and it will display the relevant results on the toolbar, along with the information about where the button has been moved to!
