I'm building a new tab for our template ribbon with specific commands for the template. I notice that when the ribbon is displayed, my new tab is at the far right (last tab). Is there any way I can get it show up between the File and Home tabs and have it be the default tab?

When creating the XML script use the insertBeforeMso="TabHome" parameter when creating the tab e.g. something like:

<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui">
<ribbon>
<tabs>
<tab id="CustomTabMyTab" insertBeforeMso="TabHome" label="MyLabel">
<group id="InvGroup" label="My Template Name">
