Microsoft Style Guide for Windows 2007
Do you know whether such a thing exists or whether you know of anything else that might help? I am updating the help for our new product and it uses a Windows 2007 ribbon style GUI but I don’t know what all the elements are called.
The Microsoft Guide of Style was written in 2004, so it’s a case of looking elsewhere. We suggested the Microsoft Office Word team blog, which has some useful information on this.

Those are good suggestions. The following are a bit more technical:
The Windows Vista User Experience Guidelines (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511258.aspx) may provide some pointers.
You might also want to look at the 2007 Microsoft Office System User Interface Design Guidelines (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/bb218965.aspx).
