I find that the behavior of the custom Ribbon tab of an add-in that I use is different in Windows 7 from Vista, after upgrading my OS. I am using Excel 2007.
In Win 7, even though the add-in tab is visible, the ribbon under the tab is the standard Excel ribbon if there is no file loaded (apart from the add-in).
Only when a file gets loaded, the Ribbon for the custom tab changes to the custom one. If the loaded file is closed, the custom ribbon vanishes again.
In Vista, the custom ribbon is always shown under the custom tab, irrespective of whether or not any other file is loaded.
Have others noted this? If so, is there a way to make the custom ribbon always visible? Thanks.
