Answer 3

Hi Dileep

Are you writing Ribbon XML for your VSTO add-in, or are you using the VSTO Ribbon Designer?

If you're writing RibbonXML, please copy/paste the XML into a reply, here.

If you're using the Ribbon Designer, please explain in detail how you "wrote it". If it involves code, please copy/paste the code into a reply.

Also, please explain "it is not working": Is the result the same as before you tried jaz.jaz's advice? Is something different happening and if yes, what?

Hello,
 I used VSTO Ribbon Designer.After exporting the Ribbob DEsigner into Xml, I wrote
  <tab idMso="TabAddIns" label="LogoStudio" insertBeforeMso="TabHome">
But it appears in the right End part of the Powerpoint 2007.

Replace ' idMso="TabAddIns"'  with id="MyCustomTab" and try again
