Ribbon Customiser and Floating Templates Add-ins in Word 2007

[Paul Gauci]

I have looked into
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CustomizeRibbon.htm and bought the
Ribbon Customiser Add-in, as it is suggested in this page that this add-in
has been tested more than a Toolbar Add-in, which is also featured in the
page.

Unfortunately, I still have not managed to master the Ribbon Customiser -
probably because I do not have the time to study it properly, and I must
admit that I am finding it much easier to go back to Word 2003; I find the
latter's templates-cum-editable icons and floating toolbar capabilities so
efficient and time saving (by a considerable degree)

I would therefore be intersted in reading opinions regarding the Toolbar
Add-in featured in the above mentioned page, and a few tips about the Ribbon
Customiser.

I have taken the easy way out - I have gone back to 2003. Will start using
2007 when MS fix this issue properly and improve on what was available in
2003.

Well I would personally prefer to use Office 2007 together with an upgrade of
the 2003 attributes mentioned in my post.

If you have access to both 2003 and 2007, see if you find

Just skimmed through the page and it is most interesting. Presently, I have
2003 and 2007 installed in eparate computers but I will install 2003
alongside 2007 (my OS is Vista) and try the approach out.

Thanks

They don't both have to be on the *same* PC to create add-ins?
