Comments for pschmid.net: Putting You & I back into Office 2007's Ribbon UI http://pschmid.net/blog Customize and Extend Microsoft Office 2007 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 21:53:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 Comment on Computer woes by Fred http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CommentsForPatrickSchmidPuttingYouIBackIntoOffice2007sUi/~3/kaMNQlm-k9E/143 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 03:02:38 +0000 http://pschmid.net/blog/2009/07/28/143#comment-24533 Patrick Well I found in 2010 that if one uses XML/VBA as in insert tab before ClipBoard on Home tab the customisation in the ribbon with Word shrinks (hilarious). I also get a duplicate set of whatever I customise in my group with tabs on the home tab. But that is why it is a technical preview. Also Patrick if you could answer my forum question I posted today for RibbonX. I need to create a cascading menu for users to select templates (or related templates in cascade) same as the old WOPR 2003 addin toolbar? I use the dynamic menu create files but how do I proceed from there to list folders/subfolders-files/subfolders-files cascading dymamically? I am confused with SubFolders colFolders and how to approach it (is it possible) to achieve this please? I need to learn how to do this. I cannot find any information except RibbonX example for a dynamic menu in Word (not Excel). Please help! Patrick

You must remove 2007 to run 2010 - so do you have a beta update? Hi Patrick

That they include it, is great for the end user. I simply haven't decided yet, whether there is a market that needs more than the basic offering for RC Fred,

I wasn't being rude Patrick but moving tabs/groups and macros of normal.dotm is quite basic. What does RC do that is different from what is in 2010 and using Word the way it should be used and also allowing for Web application use?

I was in a rage when 2007 came out--14 years of gradually increasing capability down the drain. Ribbon Customizer was a huge help in visualizing changes to the ribbon and eliminating tedious work to duplicate what was ruined. Thanks for that--especially since I'm only a stubborn Power User, not a "developer." In my opinion, the QAT is the best idea Microsoft has come up with in a long time. If it were possible to size the QAT (the icons are too small for me)and to label the icons, or even better have multiple QATs, maybe even tranferable QATs, it would heaven for me. The big advantage of the QAT is that it's static, eliminating the additional click on a tab. Thanks! Patrick–

However, I just had to do a System Restore. When I initiated the Ribbon Customizer after the Restore, it came up with my customized ribbon, BUT I could not further customize it. I found my original purchase of Professional and tried to load the License Key in the Enter Serial Key option but it did not work. The error said : You entered an invalid Serial Key. What do I need to do to reinstall Customizer Professional so I can continue to use it with all my old customized Ribbons? Thanks for your help.
