Aug 10, 2011 Hi. Is it possible to create a customised ribbon in word 2010 that can show only customised letter templates? I'm trying to create quick access for staff so all they need do is click on a template from the ribbon and up pops the company logo and footer etc. If you have access to Word 2003, you could easily edit the toolbar. For easier solutions, consider adding your macros to the QAT or writing your own custom tab. Modifying the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) in Microsoft Word; Customize the Ribbon (It doesn't take rocket science) by Greg Maxey. The Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) in Microsoft Office is a handy place to store your favorite commands and features. Unlike the Ribbon, the QAT stays the same no matter where you are or what you're.
| (View > Customise)(Toolbars tab) dialog box |
You can only manipulate toolbars and menus while this dialog box is displayed.
Enter the name of your new toolbar
Another small dialog box will be displayed to allow you enter the name of your new toolbar.
By default the toolbar will be available to your Normal template unless the current document is another template or add-in, in which case it will default to that.
If the current document is attached to a template other than Normal.dot you will be able to select this template using the drop-down list.
This will mean the toolbar is available for any new documents created by that template.
This will then appear at the bottom of the list of toolbars in the (View > Customise) dialog box.
A new empty (floating) toolbar will appear in your workbook.

It is important to remember that a new toolbar is not workbook specific and will be available whenever Excel is open.
Toolbars can be attached to specific workbooks or addins but this is not discussed here.
Adding a Custom Button
Select the Commands tab.
Scroll to the bottom of the Categories list.
In the Commands list box, select 'Custom Button'
Drag this button to your new toolbar in the location where you want it to be.
You can obtain a description of the command button by selecting the command and pressing the 'Description' button.
Removing a Custom Toolbar
Display the (Tools > Customise) dialog box and select the 'Toolbars' tab.
Select the toolbar that you want to delete and press the 'Delete' button.
You will receive a prompt asking you to confirm the deletion.
Once a custom toolbar has been deleted it cannot be restored.
You cannot delete any of the built-in toolbars.
There is no way to attach or remove toolbars to documents and templates using VBA.
Important
If you want to make changes to an existing Word add-in you must open the add-in file before you start.
Any changes that you make while the (Tools > Customise) dialog box is displayed are permanent
