Can I get rid of the labels of Cut/Copy/Paste on my self-created ribbon?

[RandomGerman]

Hi,

I hope, this is just a little one - but I have no idea.

I am creating my personal ribbon. It is going to be a mix of original MS-Office-tools and VBA-macros I created for PowerPoint on my own. Goal is to have nearly all necessary tools for my work on one ribbon. As there are quite a lot of helpful tools, I want to save space. But after inserting Cut/Copy/Paste, I had to find out, that they are always displayed with their labels. Is there a way to get rid of these Labels? The icons are enough for me.

This is my code:

customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">
<ribbon startFromScratch="false">
<tabs>
<tab id="MixedTab" label="Mixed">
<group id="MyOwnClipboard" label="Clipboard">
<button idMso="Cut" enabled="true"/>
<button idMso="Copy" enabled="true"/>
<splitButton idMso="PasteMenu" enabled="true"/>
</group>
</tab>
</tabs>
</ribbon>
</customUI>

And this is the result. (It's German. But the labels say: Cut, Copy, Paste. :-))

Any ideas? Thanks so much!

try


<button idMso="Copy" enabled="true" showLabel="false"/>

Thank you, Andy - this is it!

To learn about showLabel="False" was great, but in the meantime I found out, there are some tools not reacting on it, e.g., ShapeOutlineColorPicker or TextAlignGallery. Is there another way to get rid of the labels?

Doesn't look like it. I thought about setting label to "", but label is not a valid attribute for those controls.

Best you can do is set the caption to space,


<gallery
idMso="ShapeOutlineColorPicker"
label=" "/>

Nice workaround, thank you!
