If you right-click on any button while in the Customize dialog, you will see
the Name property of the button.

Once I click customize, I can no longer figure out what some of the
existing
buttons (especially ones that are new for Office 2003) are. This makes it
more difficult to place new buttons, or remove default buttons which I
won't
end up using.

I prefer to have only a dozen or so buttons, and use menus for less
familiar
actions, but don't know what features I'm getting rid of because I can't
identify the buttons. Currently I find myself leaving customize to
identify
buttons, and then going back into it to remove buttons, then leaving it
again
and coming back in, etc. Tooltips could continue to work in Customize
mode,
or some other method could help you identify what an existing toolbar
button
is.
