Why I Want to Add a Print Icon to the Home Ribbon

[John Lane]

I have turned off the Navigation pane and everything but the Home pane. I
have some forms that display in datasheet view, and the Print icon does not
pop up as it does when a report is displayed in Print Preview mode - the only
thing showing is the teny-tiny Print icon on the Quick Access tool bar.

Hi John,
Create a custom ribbon that has just the things you need.

Here is the xml for a custom ribbon that has only the print button it.
Use the xml to create a custom ribbon for your app that has the print button
and whatever you want from the Home section of the standard ribbon.



<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui"
onLoad="onRibbonLoad1">
<ribbon startFromScratch="true">
<tabs>
<tab id="tabIS" label="Reports Tab">

<group idMso = "GroupPrintPreviewPrintAccess" > </group>

</tab>
</tabs>
</ribbon>
</customUI>

Great! Thanks! Can the same routine be used to add it to the Home Ribbon?

Without knowing how you have set up your home ribbon, here goes.

If you have a custom ribbon for your app, you can add this part to it to
give you a print button.
You will see some similar xml for other groups on the home ribbon.

<group idMso = "GroupPrintPreviewPrintAccess" > </group>
