Why should we use the Ribbon Finder?

Let me share with you my experience. One day I had to resend an e-mail in Outlook 2010. I spent almost half an hour learning how to do this. It’s simple if you know the steps. But I had to Google it to find the answer. I asked a colleague first, who told me that he couldn’t figure it out even after browsing through all the tabs and commands in Outlook! After a few more futile attempts, I finally looked for a solution on the Internet. Thanks to Google, I found the answer. But doing this took more than 30 minutes of my work time!

Can you imagine spending that much time whenever you have to find a command on a Microsoft Office Program?

Is Ribbon Finder a good solution?

With Ribbon Finder, knowing how to resend an e-mail in Outlook 2010 is easy and simple. Just open an e-mail you have sent in Outlook and enter “resend” in the search box, and then follow the steps. Simple, isn’t it? You don’t have to switch between different tabs and commands, bother your colleague, or look for an answer on the Internet!

To know more about how the Ribbon Finder works with Microsoft Office programs, read the steps below:

① Type or enter your keywords in the search box, just as you would enter them in the Google search bar. For example, I am going to search for “Insert” in Microsoft Word 2010.

(Fig. 1)

② Once you click the search button, the most relevant Office commands are displayed on the first page. You can also click the “Next” button to browse more commands. The search results show commands that are relevant to the keyword you entered. As the image shows, searching for “Insert” has yielded 65 relevant results, which are distributed over 8 pages (See Fig. 2). This message is really useful, if you are unable to find the commands you need on the first two pages. You could also alter your keywords or enter more keywords in the search box to refine your search. For example, if you want to know how to insert a picture in Word 2010, just enter “Insert picture” in the search box, and the search results will feature the correct commands (See Fig. 3).

Tips: Entering precise keywords will give you more accurate search results. You can enter more than one keyword in the search box by using spaces to separate them.
