Customize ribbons for every MS Word document

I am new to development with VBA. I am working on a project based on MS Word macros. Lately, I have been trying to create ribbons to access certain functionalities, but I have got limited success in it. I want to customize ribbons using XML which should appear on all MS Word files and not the one I have used to customize ribbon. Is there any way to create any XML file that can be utilised by all MS word documents without having to customize each one of them.

Thanks.. Regards

  • The answer for this is essentially the same as for making macros available to all documents:

    Store the Ribbon in a template (together with the macros, so a dotm) and load it as an Add-in.

    If it should load automatically, that means placing it in Word's STARTUP folder.
