Hi - In earlier versions of Excel (2003) you could edit a button/icon
image or create your own from scratch. Is this still possible in
Excel 2007?

Not easy but possible

See this for the QAT

If you create buttons on the ribbon you can use your own images

Thanks Ron

Could you provide a bit of background info on the custom UI editor?
What exactly does it do? I'm not much of a programmer so I'm a little
hesitant about downloading stuff like that without knowing more about
it.

Thanks.

See
http://www.rondebruin.nl/ribbon.htm

Excel 2007 files are really Zip files.

Change for example the extension of test.xlsm to zip and open the file in your zip program.
You see a few folders an files now in this zip.
When you want to change the Ribbon you must add/change files in this zip.
This is not so easy.

The UI editor make it very easy to copy the RibbonX in the correct folder/file.
The program is written by a MS developer and you can find links to it also in MS articles.

For example you see it here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb927654.aspx

You can trust it
