  Roadmap: Apps for Office, VSTO & VBA
  Cindy Meister MVP Tuesday, June 18, 2013 5:34 PM

  Many folks have been asking about the emerging "apps for Office" model, and what it means for the future of VBA.  Rest assured that VBA continues to be alive and well.  In fact, many existing automation scenarios continue to be best served by VSTO & VBA for now.  At the same time, there are many exciting opportunities to look forward in apps for Office: for example, the ability to better integrate with web content and JavaScript/CSS libraries, support for host applications beyond the desktop versions of Office, and new distribution and monetization opportunities through the Office Store.

  To learn more, please see the blog post:  "Roadmap for Apps for Office, VSTO, and VBA".

  Documentation for Office 2013 Ribbon controls now available
  Cindy Meister MVP Saturday, December 22, 2012 8:40 AM

  I know the documentation for Office 2013 is still somewhat limited, but hopefully the following link will help.

  Microsoft Office Document: [MS-CustomUI2] Supporting Documentation - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=727

  From here, you should be able to download the *.txt files for Word, Excel and PowerPoint, plus the imageMso information. Once a file is downloaded, it can be opened in Excel to make it easier to look through all the controls.
