Customize The Office 2007 UI Ribbon, Part 4

Not too keen on writing code to customize the Microsoft Office 2007 UI Ribbon? Fear not. Microsoft Office OneNote MVP Patrick Schmid created a tool for the job, the RibbonCustomizer add-in for Microsoft® Access™, Excel®, Outlook®, PowerPoint®, and Word® 2007. Customize the UI Ribbon with but a few mouse clicks!

Easily customize the UI Ribbon dialog, add groups to the UI Ribbon, switch multiple customizations on and off, or reset tabs to the default with the Starter Edition of the RibbonCustomizer. It even includes pre-defined customizations to get started with.

The Starter Edition is free, and it includes a 30-day free trial of the Professional Edition, which possesses even more features. Requires Windows® XP SP-2, Windows® Server 2003, or Windows® Vista; Microsoft Office® 2007 (no betas); and .NET 2.0 Framework (if not already installed, the 20+ MB file will be downloaded automatically).

Patrick's Web site includes a very detailed tutorial on how to use the RibbonCustomizer, including part 1 and part 2.
