When you customize the Quick Access Toolbar, by adding the commands
from the column of commands to the panel on the right, there are
arrows next to some of the commands, i.e. undo, etc.

What does that mean?

A simple right-pointing triangle (arrow) usually means that the button opens
a gallery.

A right-pointing arrow with a vertical bar to its left indicates a menu or a
picker (such as a color picker).

A down-pointing arrow in a box indicates an entire group from the ribbon.

An insertion point (I-beam) in a box indicates a text field.

Since this is the first release that uses the Quick Access Toolbar, I
wouldn't be surprised if some of the commands in the Customize dialog have
the wrong symbol, or are missing ones that should be there.
