Share your Customization in MS Excel

Once you have your ribbon customized perfectly and want everyone else to have the same, it’s a very easy task to share with your colleagues.

Follow the steps below to learn how:

Right-click your Ribbon and select Customize the Ribbon.
Just below the the list box to the right, select Import/Export | Export All Customizations.
Browse to a folder and name your customization file. The file type will be .exportedUI.
Click OK.
In Windows Explorer, find the exported .exported UI file and copy it to a colleague’s comuputer.
On your colleague’s computer, repeat step one and two above.
Select to Import All customizations.
Find your file.
Click OK.

Should you later change your mind, that is a very easy task as well:

Right-click your Ribbon and select Customize the Ribbon.
Just below the list box on the right, select Rest | Reset All customizations.
Click OK.

Version 2007- 2010
