Hi Jay,
In one case, the ribbon is customized but the same control is also duplicated in the Add-Ins tab, which I think will make it more
discoverable, especially for folks now being used to looking only there for customization but also for businesses who may have
locked down the ribbon so it does not accept changes.
In the other add-in, which is from MS Research and they're asking for feedback there is a significant 'goof' in that they renamed
the Add-Ins tab to something they wanted (i.e. both the regular add-ins content and their new content are on that tab) [sigh]. That
add-in also added a custom tab (good) and added some entries to the Office button menu (which I'm now finding to be a bit
disconcerting after getting used to the predictability of the location of items in that menu <g>).
========================
Hi Bob,
That's interesting... but ultimately stupid. It implies that somebody didn't
know how or couldn't be bothered to customize the ribbon for their add-in. It
serves mainly to prove that Microsoft's development organization isn't as
monolithic as people seem to think. (But we knew that. <g>) >>
