Hi Terracon,
I am attempting to remove the Digital Signatures option. This is currently
located under the Office Button > Prepare > Digital Signatures. I don't even
know if this is possible. We have our own digital signature application and
do not want to confuse the end users. Please help not finding any
information about the removal process.
Buttons in the built-in ribbon cannot be accessed individually, and those in the
Office menu are also "special" in that way. These cannot be removed from their
parent "group" (in this case, the Office menu). What you can do is disable
and/or repurpose them.
In order to do this you need to add a <commands> section to the Ribbon XML. It
must precede the <ribbon> section in the XML file. It would look something like
this:
<commands>
<command odMso="FileViewDigitalSignatures" enabled="false" />
</commands>
For more information on working with the Ribbon I recommend the three-part
article by Frank Rice and Ken Getz (links can be found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/aa905530.aspx). I also recommend the book
"RibbonX" from wiley publishing if you want more detailed information.
