Hi,
You could use a combination of Box, Label and Edit controls. Place the
labels within a vertically aligned box.
Then remove the labels from the edit controls. This xml will add a new group
to the Home tab with 2 labels and edit boxes.
<!--RibbonX Visual Designer 1.6 for Microsoft Excel. XML Code produced on

<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui" >
<ribbon >
<tabs >
<tab idMso="TabHome" >
<group
id="Group1"
label="Group1">
<box
boxStyle="vertical"
id="Box1">
<labelControl
id="Labelcontrol1"
label="Short"/>
<labelControl
id="Labelcontrol2"
label="Long label text"/>
</box >
<editBox id="Editbox1" />
<editBox id="Editbox2" />
</group >
</tab >
</tabs >
</ribbon >
</customUI >
Cheers
Andy
