Consistency In The Leader?

The more I work with Office 2013, the more I fear I am going to continue to find things that are simply wrong. I use Word 2013 and I use Excel 2013 the most. I'm not a big fan of the new "Open" interface that was introduced. By accident, I learned that I can avoid it by doing the following in MS Word but doing the same steps in Excel don't give me the same results. Why? WHY didn't a technical writer at MS say, "Hey, uh, you're not consistent" or, if the technical writer did say that, why wasn't it fixed?
