Is it possible to intercept the ribbon controls in Mac Word 2011.?
I am able to intercept the ribbon controls in word 2007 and Word 2010 using Word Commands.
But how can i get the command names (idMso) in Word 2011.
Please help.

To be more specific i want to intercept the controls present on the ribbon.
For example, I want when i click BOLD control present on the ribbon, it should call my Macro and not the inbuiilt Bold command.
I am able to achieve it in Word 2007 and Word 2010 by creating a macro which has the same name as the Command name of the control but this doesn't work in Mac Word 2011.
Although the command name for the control is same in both toolbar and ribbon in word 2011, and the control in Toolbar is getting intercepted but not in ribbon.
Is there any way out to achieve it ?
If it is not possible to intercept a control in ribbon, is there any way out to disable a particular control in ribbon conditionally ?
