I have Microsoft Office 2010 on a new machine, so no characteristics were inherited from older versions. I have the Ribbon running, and I don't see the orb anywhere. I also use Quick Access thingies for what I regularly use and can never remember where to find.
I can't find anything about the Orb or any way to turn it on. Everything seems to have a File tab to the far left now. Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, even OneNote. I don't know where you ever saw it in 2010.

I haven't really paid to much attention to 2010 tbh. I just found it easier to find things i was looking for and escape back to LO/OOo quickly. Regards from Tom :) --- On Wed, 2/11/11, Dennis E.
