re: How to switch ribbon tab programmatically... looks simple ?

Thanks for your solution! I assume this (object model not providing a way to programmatically set the active tab of the ribbon) is still an issue for Office 2010? I did verify that your solution still works with 2010.

I have worked in the same direction as given here in the article. I have published an article on my work. Hope it helps.

Jesus! Where did you guys learn this stuff?

I need to get up to speed pretty quick and learn how to parse into elements of a Microsoft Word 2003 or 2007 XML document, but I am having one heck of a time getting started because all of the technology seems to have moved on and changed so fast.

Help is appreciated (using the website link, if you want to contact me).

I would like to extend the colour palettes in Word, PowerPoint and Exel in Office 2007. 1) I would like to add more than 8 colurs, how can I do this? Is it possible to have a custom colour palette? (in all 3 packages?) Is it possible to use the most recent colour palette??

2) Is it possible to modify the tints / shades that are given in the Theme colur palette??

Thanks

Rob

I need to "click" on a ribbon button using vba in Outlook 2007 for an open email. I don't have the source code. The current command is located under the File Menu, on the explorer command toolbar and on the Add-Ins ribbon menu. Any thoughts?

A quick fix that worked for me is to find the xml files that feature the product name you need and delete the one(s) you don't need. In my case, I deleted the file related to A4 paper size and kept the one for Letter.

re: ServerDocument.AddCustomization on Server? its a bummer !

Thanks fot the blog. I have been searching high and low to find whether ServerDocument.AddCustomization() does actually opens an instance of Word on web server, but after reading quite a few posts, it does seem to be.

However, I have posted this question on MSDN (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vsto/thread/1e009a3e-344d-417b-9f35-bcc2f22ded7f), and the reply I have was that it doesn't, so who is right and who is wrong? I've done 90% of my project and now coming across a lot issues with permission, etc.
