How do I add custom menu items to the office-button in office-2007?
In office 2007, I've managed to add some custom menu items to the office button, see the image below:
As you can see I added a 'label' and a 'button'.
Though this button lacks some things I would like to see.
What I would like to do is create a button like the 'Word Document' button seen in the picture below. A button with a form of heading and a description underneath it.
I've tried several things, and tried almost every option there was in the 'Ribbon.xml'.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui" onLoad="Ribbon_Load">
<ribbon>
<officeMenu>
<menu id="test" label="My Menu">
<button id="id001" description="desc" enabled="true" label="label" screentip="screentip" supertip="supertip" tag="tag"/>
<button id="id002" imageMso="AdpPrimaryKey" label="A button" description="desc" onAction="action" visible="true" />
</menu>
</officeMenu>
</ribbon>
</customUI>
Maybe you can find some informatie through the ribboneditor on the following site: http://www.andypope.info/vba/ribboneditor.htm
With the OfficeMenu example you get the following xml:
<!--RibbonX Visual Designer 1.9 for Microsoft Word 12.0. XML Code produced on 2010/02/02-->
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui" >
<ribbon >
<officeMenu >
<splitButton id="Splitbutton1" >
<button
id="Button1"
imageMso="AdpPrimaryKey"
label="Company Lockers"/>
<menu
id="Menu1"
itemSize="large"
label="Menu1">
<menuSeparator
id="Menuseparator1"
title="Lock away your company files"/>
<button
description="Place your workbook in the Corporate Locker. Information may be accessed by others"
id="Button2"
imageMso="ReviewProtectWorkbook"
label="Corporate Locker"/>
<button
description="Place your workbook in a Group Locker. Only members of your Group can access it."
id="Button3"
imageMso="SheetProtect"
label="Group Locker"/>
<button
