Check out Find Commands - it adds a tab to the ribbon where you can do exactly that

I'm not an office power-user but trying to figure out where the Word-Wrap option is in Outlook beat me the other day and I resorted to copy-paste into Notepad++ (P.S. If anyone knows WHERE this option is I'd appreciate a heads-up). If I could just go Ctrl+Q,"Word Wrap" and have the program understand what the heck I mean that would make my life much much easier. In fact, do away with shortcut keys for most things. A reasonable predictive text algorithm and a drop-down is all the UI I need (apparent after 2 years with Launchy). Allow the app to look at the keys I use most often and suggest shortcut chords on the 20th invocation of a command or something. If I'm logging into Windows 8 with my Live ID (or whatever it's called now that the Live brand is going away) store it in my SkyDrive (if *that* name is sticking around) and I'll have a truly portable productivity experience.

Did MH have anything to do with its adoption? I couldn't agree more. Metro is shite and should be dropped into a bin along with The Ribbon. The fact they are farting around with colour selection while you still have to run VS.NET<http://VS.NET> <http://VS.NET> as administrator for some types of development is insane. I actually like the Ribbon. Over the past 3 years I've done some heavy MS Office development with tight application integration and find that the Ribbon lets me make useful and simple interfaces easily. MS certainly could have done some better work when placing some of the functionality when they moved to the ribbon, but overall I think it's actually quite decent. Mostly I can live with Office. Just quit re-arranging it. P.S. Friday Flamewar already? :P Never too soon to start. -- Meski http://courteous.ly/aAOZcv "Going to Starbucks for coffee is like going to prison for sex.
