Thanks for the links, Paul. I've actually read that fascinating 3 part series (and have the printouts with coffee stains to prove it!).
Specifically:
I'd love to have the XML for the entire Word 2010 ribbon, if that was floating out there somewhere. It's so much easier to modify than it is to recreate (I know there's an interface for modifying the 2010 interface, but exporting it, removing the mso:/idQ stuff and importing it into a global addin or a COM addin is a bit of a hassle)
Very specifically:
In recreating the font group (as an example, xml code above), I can get close, but as Greg Maxey has pointed out, two things are different in my version vs. the one natively provided by Word.
1. Word native is two rows, centered vertically, however, there is more space between those two rows than my two rows.
2. I'm unable to insert separators, since they are not valid child elements of the horizontal boxes necessary to get the other look (centered vertically, "line-breaking" where I want them to).
Very very specifically:
I just want to, for this exercise, remove the Text Effects menu button from the native font group. But you can't remove specific elements of a native group.
Any ideas would be welcome. Greg pointed out something I had just discovered... that a label element with "|" as the label would serve.. but it looks clunky and not like the native separator.
