Because it's next to Ctrl-F, which is busy doing something else?
I'm sure Ctrl-M used to open the Paragraph dialog, but now it does
something else (that isn't useful). That can't have been only a
FrameMaker thing, can it?

Ctrl+D is even simpler for opening the font dialog, though I've never
understood why it was chosen.

The most commonly used dialogs, for the Font and Paragraph groups, are
also on the right-click context menu in many contexts (although,
inexplicably, not in tables). Also, the Font dialog has a default keyboard
shortcut of Ctrl+Shift+F. There is no default shortcut for the Paragraph
dialog, but you can assign one through Office button Customize
Keyboard Customize -- in the category Home Tab, select the FormatParagraph
command and assign your preferred shortcut.

I am a "new user" of Office 2007 and am slowly getting used to the
ribbon. There is one thing with the ribbon though that I with eyes
that are not what they used to be would like an answer to or a fix
and that is the little "hot spot" to click on to expand the ribbon
with more options. An example is the Font panel has a little hot spot
in the lower left corner. It is very small on my desktop monitor and
is nearly invisible using a laptop computer. Under some lighting
conditions that hot spot can't be seen at all.
Is there a setting that I have missed for this?
Otherwise, my complaints list is getting shorter.....it is the
learning curve for something that is different that is the source of
most complaints I think.
