What tool are you using to create the ribbon?

I use Office Ribbon Editor and if I want a ribbon to work in Word 2007, I need to ensure the CustomUI Part is RibbonX12 as well as having the namespace as per Greg's posts. If your CustomUI Part is RibbonX14 then it probably won't validate correctly with the older namespace.



Note that if you set up the ribbon for Word 2007 it will also work for Word 2010 and 2013 - forward compatibility is alive and well. It appears I could include different ribbons for different versions of Word but that is way more effort than I would entertain.

Ok, I figured out my problem with viewing the code. I tried opening an existing Ribbon.docm file, but the UI was RibbonX14 and changing the Namespace didn't work. So I started a ribbon from scratch using RibbonX12, copied all of my code over, and that seems to have worked.

Thanks

I'm using Ribbon Editor and the Custom UI part is Ribbon X12. I can see all of my code. When I open my Ribbon.docm file in MS Word, my ribbon shows-up and appears to look just fine. However, none of the macros are working.

When I view the code within Ribbon Editor, there are no Callbacks. So using Custom UI Editor, I just opened the file that uses the same code. I simply copied the Callbacks and pasted them in Ribbon Editor. I then saved the file and closed it. NOW, when I open that same file again within Ribbon Editor, my Callbacks are gone. For some reason, it's not able to save those Callbacks.

Are the Callbacks between Custom UI Editor and Ribbon Editor not compatible?

Any ideas?
