Inspect live Office objects from the ribbon

Office Spy is integrated directly into Office applications. It gives developers fast access to Object Model interfaces, property values, functions, object hierarchy, and event logs.

Use it from the object you already have selected: an active Excel cell, a Word paragraph, a PowerPoint presentation, an Access database object, or another object exposed by an Office application.
