Buttons on ribbons in 2007

[CEH]

Customizing ribbons in 2007 and having a little trouble with the buttons... It seems I need the listing of the "Button idMso" and the "ImageMso"..... I think I have found the "button id" (I'll know after I try a few) but can't seem to locate a listing of the images. Anyone know? Thanks

Hi Curtis,

Here's a little tip to find them.
1. Click the Microsoft Office Button
2. Click Access Options
3. Click Customize on the left side

From here you can browse through all the various Ribbons commands. If you'd like to use a specific image for your own button, hover your mouse over that option in the list box on the left side. After a second or two, you'll see a tooltip appear. If you look closely, and *quickly*, you'll see the name of the ImageMso to use. It will be the element on the far right of the tooltip.

Here's another quick tip. If you see an image from a *different* Office 2007 Ribbon command (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc.) you can do the same procedure with the tooltip to learn the ImageMso. You can then use that image for a button in your own custom Ribbon.

Hope that helps,

Do you know or only BMP files can be used as images for ribbons or do we can use also PNG and GIF files. Expect not because get on PNG files errors and need that transparancy instead of a white background on the images.
thx...
