Michael,

You can edit XML in any text editor, but Ron probably used the Custom UI
Editor Tool that he mentions at the start of this page

Ron,

I have looked at your website revisions and l think the explanation /
examples for changing the Ribbon are now much clearer.

I have followed / used your examples succesfully to the extent that l
have even 'edited' the XML code to give me the look and appearance l
wanted on the Ribbon. (I know very little about XML) Many thanks, l am
sure many advanced Excel users will benefit from your efforts.

I have 1 further question to ask you. How did you create the XML
example code? If l could do the same it would enable me to create
templates for the menu structures l use frequently. I would then only
have to rename the Tab & Group within the XML code.

TIA

Regards
