Default How do I add commands to the ribbon in Word2007?

My answer is perfectly correct. Your webpage to which Jay directed the
poster even admits that the programming is difficult, and (sorry to
say) your instructions are incomprehensible to anyone who isn't very
familiar with programming in that language -- "The complete workings
and writing of the RibbonXML script shown above is beyond the scope of
this page. However, I hope after looking at it closely that you will
see that it consists of a well ordered hierarchical structure of
instructions."

Whereas my suggestion to put the needed operations in the QAT is much
easier to carry out.

Peter,

Here's a tip. *If you don't know the answer, it is ok to leave the question

You can easily customize the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT). You could
only customize the Ribbon if you were skilled in some arcane sort of
programming.

I'm trying to customize a document template. I'd like to have
commands on the menu bar (File, Edit, View, Insert.., etc.) that I
can click on and which will be populated with selections to
auto-fill form fields in the document. I've done this in Word 2003
but can't figure out how it's done in 2007. In 2003, I right click
on the menu bar, select customize, select the commands tab, then
under categories select "New Menu" and drag it up to the menu
bar...viola, done! How is this done is Word 2007?


As a specific example, I'd like one menu command labeled "Diagnosis"
and another "Recommendations". The "diagnosis" tab will have a list
of selectable diseases which will insert into the form when
selected. Likewise for the "recommendations" tab.
