Search Commands: Find What You’re Looking for In Word 2007 [GTD Wannabe]
Are you using Office 2007 with new, potentially befuddling, ribbon interface? Do you find yourself yearning to know where esoteric commands are now?
It used to be the case that you would have to read the help (ugh), or even head online to an interactive guide (such as this one for Word) that essentially translated the 2003 menu to 2007.
But fret no more! I’ve just now been informed (hat tip to Marc over at the EN forum) that there’s actually a search powertoy that will let you type in what command you’re looking for, and then find everything that matches. Kind of like using Launchy, or even Vista’s new start menu.
It’s called the Search Commands powertoy, and you can get it directly from Microsoft Office Labs. It is experimental, unsupported and works for Word, Excel and PowerPoint, 2007 versions only.
If you can’t remember, or don’t know yet, how to get to certain commands in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint 2007, give the Search Commands powertoy a shot. I find this an almost-timely addition to my stable. “Almost” because just two days ago I wasted about 15 minutes trying to figure out how to insert a section break (at the next page) in Word 2007. Now, I can just do this:
Ahhhhh, progress.
