If you hover your cursor over certain commands in the ribbon, you'll see a preview of the action in the editing area. This was one of the major feature of Office 2007.
- n8cpdx 5y agoThat wasn’t the feature I was thinking of, but it was indeed one of Office 2007’s major innovations! That release got a lot of grief for folks used to menus, but it really was a major leap in UX. The discoverability advantages were huge. Another favorite: rich tooltips with images and text descriptions for commands. Sibling comment is a better description of what I was referring to, specifically floating the most common formatting commands next to the cursor on selection. It saves a mouse round trip to the ribbon.
