Where are saved the Ribbon customizations?

Question

Hi,

In Project Std 2010, where are saved the Ribbon's customizations?

Thanks

Answer 1

Hello Wlid1966,

I don't quite follow your question.  If you customized the ribbon through VBA, the customization would be in the VBA module in the project.  See:

for details on using VBA.

I hope this helps,

Julie

Answer 2

Hello Julie,

In the previous versions, the customizations of the tool bars were saved automatically in the Global.mpt file.

Is it the same for 2010 ?

Thanks

Hi Wlid1966,

I believe the answer is no.  Ribbon customizations are specific to the project. 

In this forum see the following thread

There have been quite a few threads on this topic in the Project Customization forum.  See in particular:

http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/project2010custprog/thread/ca3019f4-3856-4b03-adeb-bd1e6f79df93

I hope this helps.

Answer 4

Hi Julie,

On my PC, manual (without VBA) Ribbon customizations seam general for all the projects on my PC.

Another question about this customization: how can you draw a new button, especially for buttons which trigger a VBA proc.

Thanks

WLID1966 --

If I can jump into this thread, yes, you are correct that manual Ribbon customization are general are available to every project you open.  But, on the other hand, you can create a custom Quick Access Toolbar for individual projects as you wish, or you can create a general Quick Access Toolbar for every project.

To create a new button that you need to attach to a macro, complete the following steps:

1. Click File - Options - Customize Ribbon.
2. Click the Choose Commands From pick list and select Macros.
3. Select the name of the macro from the list on the left.
4. Expand a Ribbon tab in the list on the right and select a Ribbon group.
5. Click the Add button.
6. With the macro selected in the list on the right, click the Rename button.
7. In the Rename dialog, select a Symbol for the macro and enter a name for the macro as well.
8. Click the OK button to close the Rename dialog.
9. Click the OK button to close the Project Options dialog.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for jumping in Dale.  I've been off traveling and not paying the proper amount of attention :-)

Answer 7

Thanks a lot Dale, that works!

But, if I understand well, it no more possible to draw our own button, pixel by pixel, as we did in the previous versions.

Thanks again

Hi Wlid1966,

No, sorry, I don't believe so.  The ribbons are a completely different 'thing' than the standard toolbar buttons were in earlier releases.

I hope this helps.
