You’ll notice a text box on the ribbon in Office 2016 on Windows apps that says Tell me what you want to do. This is a text field where you can enter words and phrases about what you want to do next and quickly get to features you want to use or actions you want to perform. You can also use Tell Me to find help about what you’re looking for, or to use Smart Lookup to research or define the term you entered.

For example, if I want to insert a picture in my document but I’m not sure how to do it, all you have to do is go up to Tell Me what you want to do, click there, and start typing Insert Picture.  You will begin to see the options available and can select one from the drop down menu that appears.
