Make navigating the menus easier.

Searching through menus can often be time consuming, and if you're
inexperienced with the Suite, you have to go to the Documentation to find a
specific feature that you want. 

A nice way to fix that would be implementing a search box that allows you to
search for specific functionalities in the program. Search for "horizontal
line" and you get all the functionalities of the program with this keyword,
including "insert horizontal line".

You can simply click enter, and it will insert a horizontal line, or you can
press Ctrl+Shift+Enter and it will show you how to navigate the menu to find
that specific thing you searched for. 

If you search "Horizontal Line" and use the help option, it will open
Format -> Styles and Formatting -> Horizontal Line
step by step, showing the user how to get to that functionality without using
the search box.

Now the user can learn about the program in a more visual way without going to
documentation.
