What is Customization ?

Making the Ribbon Mine

Ability to Add, Remove and Relocate commands

Began with command bars in Office 97

Progressed to QAT in Office 2K7

Evolved to include Ribbon Customization in Office 2K10

Need ForCustomization2

Why do we need Customization ?

Office used by 1 Billion people

Default grouping of commands cant match every preference

Using CustomizationGroup favorite and frequently used commands

Remove seldom used commands

Repetitive tasks with fewer clicks

Create custom tab or groups to existing tabs

What is the level of Customization ?

Scenario

Immanuel is a editor of a local news paper - say Jayanagar Plus

Uses Word 2010 to review articles going for print

Finds that specific set of commands used over and over

Wishes that all those commands be in one place.

One tab – commands just a click away – How ?
