1.command gropus added to the quick access toolbar closes once a command in the command group is selected;this behavior is rather a pain when you need to issue several commands one after another,Consider changing this behavior.

eg: If I add the alignment command group to the quick access toolbar,click on a cell and change it's alignment to center ,nope it doesn't look good ,I click the alignment button on the quick access toolbar again to change it to left align ,nope doesn't look good either ,I have to keep clicking the button on the qa toolbar everytime I make a choice,now if the command group would stay open I could make my choice and take the mouse away to make the command group collapse after I am done,life would be so much easier 2.I'd like to see some text on the quick access toolbar(instead of just icons) so could use it with more confidence 3.Custom ribbon tabs? So I could make ribbon tabs with my most frequently used commands, instead of just the built in ones

By the way, an even more nice alternative to (2) would be to add "tree structure/diagram" as a suboption or extension to the Bulleted List feature. A bulleted list (with several levels) can easily be displayed as a tree and vice versa. David.

Hello MS Word team, Since there is no contact button on the blog, I'll try this. I have two suggestions based on Word 2007. 1) Add, or even move, the Help function to the Office button's menu. All application functions are there, I can't figure out why Help is not. If you do not decide to move it, at least make the current "?" button a bit more discoverable. 2) Add a feature to easily insert-create-edit-delete a tree structure/diagram. I know this might be overlapping with other Office programs, but so are other features. I think it would hugely advance Word as an editor. Keep it up. David
