TO ASK A QUESTION: If you have a question or need help with Office, please feel free to use the 'Click to Contact' link at the bottom of this page. You'll get a form that you can use to email a question to me. (I had been getting a ton of spam when accepting direct emails, so only emails that use this form will get through to me.)
Please be sure to mention the version of Office you are using when you send your question.
I answer all e-mails that I receive via this form, as long as they are polite :)
Since disabling comments on this site, I'm actually hearing from more of you with questions ... so, as it seems people prefer to email rather than comment, I'm going to leave comments disabled. As always, you can ask me any Office-related questions you have. If the question is outside of my expertise, I'll try to direct you to where you can get an answer.
Code correction: TechNet Mag Guide to Customizing the Ribbon
Hi, everyone! Thanks very much to the person who wrote to point this out to me. It seems that when the above-referenced article was posted online, some manual line breaks accidentally made it into the snippets of markup and VBA code that you can copy.
Hopefully, that will be corrected soon - but copying those snippets as is will result in errors that won't let your customUI appear in the document to which you add it. Following is a download and instructions to easily get you the corrections:
(You can also see in the following download that I corrected a typo as well in the initial piece of markup - the paired 'ribbon' tag needs a lowercase R. So, if you copy and edit the markup from the article instead of using the download that follows, do make that change for yourself.)
Download a Word document that contains the initial corrected snippets (as well as the initial customUI correctly added to the document).
For later snippets in the article not included in the download, or if you prefer to copy snippets from the article as it currently is, just remove any manual line breaks that fall in the middle of a tag (that is, line breaks that fall between paired angle brackets <>) after you paste the markup into your file. Manual line breaks can't appear in the middle of a tag.
Thanks everybody! ... and Happy Saturday!
