2007 Customization

[Karin]

Hi - Over the past couple years I've created custom macros and toolbars (in
word and excel) for my company. Some are deployed to a few individuals, some
to a lot of people. Some are very simple macros that make life easier and
tasks faster. None of them make any sense when you attach an unrelated
symbol to them on the QAT. (This is probably one of the most frustrating
aspects of the ribbon.) I'd like suggestions on how to handle this in 2007.
Is it best to customize the ribbon (can I share this customization?) or ???
I've looked at P. Schmid's RibbonCustomizer, but can't determine if the
results are able to be shared with others. I no longer have 2003. (I plan to
post this on the word site as well, sorry if that confuses anyone.)

I assume you asking this in regards to ms-access since you posted this
question in an ms-access group? (but, your question seems to ask about Excel
+ word).

For ms-access, the ribbon customizing do travel with and are normally part
of the application.

For Word, excel etc, I think the approach is somewhat different and I don't
have experience with custom ribbons in those applications, but ms-access
works quite well in this regards.

So, Access is designed in such an way that we have a system table that hold
the ribbons, and thus without any additional coding, you can use/setup and
even set what forms display your custom ribbons.

Using ribbons in ms-access is explained here:
