Word 2010 Ribbon Customization to template
David Price
application but where are these customizations stored? I know I can
export/import the customization as an XML file but this doesn't help
much. What I want to do in Word is add the customizations to a
specific template. In previous versions of Word (2003 and before) it
was easy to add customization to a template but now I can't find a
mention of it.

those templates with modified ribbons created in 2007 still work in 2010 and
the process for editing ribbons in 2007 will still work for 20101 - see
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Customize_Ribbon.htm . If you can export the
ribbon code from the 2010 ribbon editor then this will shortcut the
process - and was a technique I have used with 2007 and

Graham, thanks but that doesn't really address the question. Can you
use Office 2010 to customise the ribbon and store those customisations
in a template without having to edit the XML as we did in 2007?

My understanding is that this can be done through the UI.

It appears that ribbon customizations are per application, not per
template or per document.
Each Office 2010 application has a new Customize Ribbon panel in the
Options dialog, where you can customize the ribbon in much the same
way as the 2007 applications customize the QAT. At the bottom of the
dialog is an Import/Export button. That exports the customizations to
a file with an extension of .exportedUI, which can be imported on
another PC. Of course, it's just an XML file that can be edited with
any text editor. The first entry in the file identifies the
application being customized, such as
<mso:cmd app="Word" dt="1" />
In addition, a very similar file with the application name plus an
extension of .officeUI is saved in the user's profile, either the
Local or the Roaming branch depending on a policy setting. That can be
distributed to other PCs and stored in the same location to be loaded
automatically at application startup.
