Custom button on the 'Send To' menu

[Articulate]

Is it possible to add a custom button on the Office 2007 Send to menu?

Thx

Sure. You do it with Ribbon XML. I've done it in addins for Word, Excel and
PPT. Just add the new control to that Ribbon group, which is FileSendMenu.

Hello Ken,
Thanks for responding. I am trying the following and seem to be getting
nowhere. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui" >
<ribbon>
<tabs>
<tab idMso= "OfficeMenu">
<group idMso="FileSendMenu" >
<button id="ButtonPublish" label="My Package" size="large"
onAction="PackageIt" image="pkg32" supertip="Create a package."/>
</group>
</tab>
</tabs>
</ribbon>
</customUI>

Could you correct the xml? Thx

The XML for the ribbon is case sensitive, you must follow the exact casing
used in the ribbon docs. You also don't use a <tabs> or a tag attribute or
some other things.

Try this to replace your initial lines:

<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui"
<ribbon>
<officeMenu>
<menu idMso="FileSendMenu">

Then add your button.

Ken,
Much appreciated. That worked beautifully. Thx again.

One last question. Now that I've added my button to the Send to menu. Is it
possible to have the little description text that appears below the other
button on this menu? I tried screentip and supertip but they don't do the
trick.

Try the description or getDescription attributes for that.
