Suggestion: Reveal formatting and Styles & Formatting should be standard
buttons on the Format toolbar out of the box. This combo is essential. Add
it on the RIGHT side of the formatting tool bar as well so that it appears
right above the Task Pane - a convenient spot when trouble shooting format
issues. When users start using Word, they tend to, as I did, right-click to
see individual format settings unaware that they can see ALL format settings
in one screen at one time. Reveal, as you know, is much more efficient and
less pain staking than the one at a time method.
Currently, while there is a button on the left side for Styles, it takes two
clicks to get to Reveal Formatting even with the Task pane opened. One-click
access is definitely preferred so you can frequently flip between Reveal and
Styles to fix format issues.
Experienced users can add Reveal Formatting using Customize but I think new
users should know about it as well - easier access will help them to use it
more often and will better understand Word.
I am just suggesting that Reveal Formatting be placed up front and central
right from the start.
