Ribbon into dotm using ribbon designer

[Flemming]

Hi,

I have created a DOTM file in Word 2007 and would like to add a ribbon to
this file using Visual Studio 2008 VSTO 3.0 and the Ribbon Designer.

I'd like to create a new tab with one group and one button...

I can do this and make it work if I distribute the files placed in the debug
folder... BUT I would realy like it all to be stored within the DOTM file.

I would love some pointers or a link to a guide I cannot make it happen

Thanks,
Flemming

I'm afraid you won't be able to use the Ribbon Designer in VSTO to store a
Ribbon in a Word file that will work without VSTO attached. The Ribbon Designer
does a lot behind the scenes to turn the XML into something a .NET Developer
feels comfortable coding against. The result isn't just the straight XML, I'm
afraid.
