How to change default ribbon tab when launching Word 2007
Is it possible to change the default tab everytime I run MS Word 2007?
For example, when I open Word 2007, the default tab is HOME, then I decided to click the ADDINS to show my custom toolbars. Then close the application. The next time the application is run, I wanted to see that the default tab is the ADDINS. One more thing, is this also possible programmatically? I am embedding MSWord library in my program which is responsible for launching MS Word. Please help. Thank you in advance. |

How to change default ribbon tab when launching Word 2007
Yes, but not through any option. You will have to create an addin which
stores the 'active tab' when quitting Word and then selecting the tab when Word starts. For information on seeing which tab is selected, or how to select a certain tab, you can check out the following excellent VBA example by Tony Jollans (should be easy to translate to C++): http://www.wordarticles.com/Shorts/R...bonVBADemo.htm Note that other addins might influence the ribbon as well, while users could also uninstall addins without running Word thereby influencing the ribbon on its next start.
