This was literally the reason for the design change in 2007 - they abandoned the toolbar system for the ribbon system exactly because 95% of all feature requests were for features that were already included in the product. People just couldn't find these features.
And so they reworked the UI, now users can find the features they want to use. And it generated so much bad publicity that they re-added the toolbar system to Office 2010.
