Hi All,
I'd like to change my Word2007 ribbon so that the Addins tabs is either to the immediate right or left of my Home tab. I am using
the a Custom UI editor and the ribbon code in the attached template at present is:
?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?
customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui"
ribbon
tabs
tab idMso="TabHome" label="EMR-Home"
group id="CustomGroup" label="toolbars" insertBeforeMso="GroupClipboard"
button id="Btn1" label="a 2003 toolbar" imageMso="VisualBasic"
onAction="RibbonControl.MyBtnMacro" /
button id="Btn2" label="Familiar old toolbar" imageMso="VisualBasic"
onAction="RibbonControl.MyBtnMacro2" /
button id="Btn3" label="EMR toolbar" imageMso="VisualBasic"
onAction="RibbonControl.MyBtnMacro3" /
button id="GroupAddinsCustomToolbars" label="EMRmoved" imageMso="VisualBasic"
onAction="RibbonControl.GroupAddinsCustomToolbars" /
/group
/tab
tab idMso="TabAddIns" label="EMR-Addins"
/tab
/tabs
/ribbon
/customUI

I understand that I can hide a tab with something like the following for the insert tab:
tab idMso="TabInsert" visible="false" /

How would I change my code to get what I am seeking?

Cheers,
Gil

I think that you will need to create a custom tab that replicates the Addins
tab and use

insertAfterMso="TabHome"

attribute.

You would of course then want to hide the built-in Addins tab by setting its
visible attribute to false using

tab idMso = "TabAddIns"
visible="false"
/tab

Hope this helps.

Thanks Doug,

I will gradually be able to construct a replica of my prior toolbar that I now have under Addins. But it'll likely take me a year
because there is a lot in it. I was hoping to avoid that. I am intending now to put it all in a UserForm for easier ongoing
modification. It sure would be neat to have a "toolbar export" function of some sort.

I do hear you: insertAfterMso="TabHome"

Thanks And Cheers,

Gil
