Ribbon Button Alignment

[Ed]

I have an XML file, which I'm using to create a ribbon for my Excel
2007 add-in. I have two size-normal buttons in a group, and currently
they are top aligned. I would like to center align the two buttons just
as the Calculate Now and Calculation Sheet buttons are center aligned
on the Formulas tab in the Calculation group.

It doesn't seem apparent in the MSDN documentation on the ribbon on how
to do this. Is there a center alignment attribute available for this?

There is no way to do this.

The only alignment I've been able to do was to create a blank control with a
space as a caption between the 2 controls.

That aligns the 2 controls top and bottom with a space in between. It has to
have a space, a null string just doesn't work.

A labelControl with just an id will do the trick as well. Simply don't
specify its label attribute. But you'll never be able to center it like
the Font group e.g.
