Search Commands for Office

One of the major changes in Office 2007 is in the user interface. The old
user interface has been replaced by ribbons. Each ribbon represents a set
of commands,and to be honest at first(and sometimes still) I found it annoying
since I couldn't find commands I previously could.

On the other hand, a very welcomed change in the Vista user interface is the search
box in the start menu. You type the first few letters of a command or a file name
and the interfaces presents possible options using a previously created index.

So why isn't there such a tool for Office, a tool that will enable me to find the commands
I am looking for by entering the first few letters of the command? Well,there is and it's
called Search Commands from Microsoft Office Labs.

The tool adds a new ribbon to Word,Excel and PowerPoint that adapts to what you
write and displays the closet commands to what you wrote:
