I attempted to add a description of my add-in by
Choose Developer➪Modify➪Document Panel
But there is no Modify option under Developer tab on my Excel (I am using Office 365ProPlus). How do I display this option?
The description of an Excel add-in is taken from the "Comments" Document property which can be found here: File, Info, click the "Properties" dropdown and select "Advanced Properties". Whatever you type into the "Title" box is what will appear in the list of add-ins once your add-in has been selected.

I'm using the visual designer and have one custom ribbon with 12 or so buttons on it. I'd like to add the most important button from that ribbon onto "TabMail" so that I can use it more easily.
I have added another ribbon via the "add..." dialog, then ribbon, and then add a test button to it. When I then run the solution (from Visual Studio, debug or release) it seems to pick one ribbon or another to show - either leaving me missing a button, or missing 12!
What am I doing wrong?
I've just found that what I should be using is two Tabs, not two Ribbons. Each tab can appear wherever you want, rather than each having to come up as a separate custom tab.
Here's the setup inside visual studio:
Shown below is "My Button" in blue, and in red is "My Tab"
I had a custom ribbon tab installed in MS Word (the tab works for MS Office 2007 and up). I want to remove this tab, but I cannot determine how to do that. I've looked through the "add a custom ribbon tab" answers and they did not help. I know the tab was created with VBA. I do not have the code that created the tab, it was installed with some sort of installer file, which I do not possess.
Any ideas as to how I can remove this ribbon tab? thank you.
Right click on the ribbon and select Customize the Ribbon
Find the name of the tab you want to remove on the right and uncheck it
Click OK
You can do this by downloading the CustomUIEditor from here: https://www.rondebruin.nl/win/winfiles/OfficeCustomUIEditorSetup.zip
This allows you to edit the XML within your ribbon and remove the tab you don't want. Just make a backup of any files you edit as it's quite easy to break stuff
How do I add a description to an Excel AddIn like in the picture below:
You can see the Euro Tools AddIn has one.
Like so:
File, Info, Properties, Advanced properties. Click the Summary tab. The Title is what shows up as the name of your add-in. The Comments section shows up as description.
I have a macro that I have coded in a VBA module, saved in a .dot file. However, when I go to Customize Ribbon in Word and try to add it, it does not show up. I have tried saving it in the Word STARTUP folder as well as the Custom Office Templates folder.
I would like to have the macro set up so that it loads in all Word Documents as a clickable button on the Word toolbar/ribbon.
I can tell you for dotm files. I think it should work the same for dot. However, you might as well switch to dotm since you have Word 2013.
Exit Word.
Put the dotm in %appdata%\Microsoft\Word\Startup. You mentioned you have already done this, which is good!
Restart Word.
Check File | Options | Add-Ins and make sure your dotm is listed under "Active Application Add-ins".
If not, hit "Go" at the bottom to manage "COM Add-ins," and hit the checkmark by your dotm's name.
Right-click the ribbon and select "Customize Ribbon."
In the "Customize Ribbon" dialog, under "Choose commands from," select the "Macros" category.
All your macros should be listed there, by project name. You may have to hunt through the list as they will all start with Project. by default. You can change your project's name in the VBA editor, Properties pane, to make it easier to find.
Choose the destination and hit Add>>.
Tested in Word 2013, Windows 8, with numerous dotm files.
I am in the process of creating a VBA add-in for Excel 2010, and I used the "Custom UI Editor for Microsoft Office" tool to create my own ribbon.
However, I would like to give the user the option to load my add-in without displaying the ribbon, or with different parts of the ribbon visible.
With menus, I know you can completely control them programmatically, but ribbons seem to work differently.
Is there a way in VBA to not load my customUI.xml ribbon tabs on startup?
Is there a way to remove items from (or add items to) these tabs at runtime?
here is a whole slew of help on this subject Awesome Ribbon Help. I think points 2 and 3 are of particular interest to you.
