EXCEL 2007 Ribbon Customization

[andy0923]

Hi Everyone

I Have a custom tab with two groups which are loaded into Excel as an addin so that the groups and buttons are avvailable to all documents. I cant seem to add a custom group (as a third group) from a document into that custom tab when that particular document is loaded. I am trying to avoid programming an additional custom tab.

Is this possible? Any ideas would be appreciated.

I don't understand. Are you saying you have a third party addin designed to assist you customize the ribbon? Or are you saying that the Add-Ins tab is displayed?

add a custom group... from a document

Please be much more specific.

The following partial code, when saved in an .xlam file and then used as an addin (Customize/Add-Ins) produces a tab labelled "Special" which is loaded everytime Excel is started up.

<customUI xmlns="

http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui"><ribbon>

<tabs> <tab id="customTab" label="Special" insertAfterMso="TabHome">
<group id="customGroup1" label="SUM">
<splitButton idMso="AutoSumMenu" size="normal"/>
<button id="customButton2.1" label="Sum to Formula"

I would like to add a group to this based upon the current document which is loaded.
