In fact, the old Reveal Formatting task pane is still available.
Right-click the Quick Access Toolbar and select the Customize item. In
the dialog, set the category to Commands Not in the Ribbon, select the
Reveal Formatting item, and click the Add button.
However, there's another tool you should look at first, called the
Style Inspector. Press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S to open the main Styles pane
(or click the little launcher button at the bottom right corner of the
Styles group on the Home ribbon), and then click the second button at
the bottom of that pane to open the Style Inspector. That not only
lets you see the sources of formatting in the current selection, it
also lets you selectively remove them. As a bonus, it takes up less
room than the Reveal Formatting pane.
As a last comment, you can put a button for the Style Inspector on the
QAT -- use the same Customize dialog.
