It is the only part of the Excel UI which the user can configure directly from the Excel interface itself (i.e., without XML code). While the user can move it from its normal place on the menu bar to just below the ribbon, doing so adds another row to the space required for the ribbon. I think it was a last minute concession to users that have numerous custom commandbars in their 2003 interfaces, though the QAT ain't squat compared to a good old 2003 command bar, which the user can dock on any of four edges of the window or float above the work area where it can be most handy. I find the QAT such a poor replacement that I don't even use it; I see it there taunting me with its lack of utility.</p> The QAT (Quick Access Toolbar) is the hobbled set of icons on the Excel title bar.

In Vista you not have this problem with Shell but in Win Xp it leave a

I add a VBA macro to my page that will replace the customUI.xml in
the 2007 file with your template customUI.xml in a folder on your computer.

See this section
“Replace the customUI.xml file with a customUI.xml template file with VBA”

On this page
http://www.rondebruin.nl/imageqat.htm

Let me know if you see stupid things or have suggestions.

Anyway, the intention with my comment about VBA & XML files is that it can extend what we can do. From a practical point of view it may not be useful however it will show how to work with Excel & XML & the Ribbon.

Maybe you can read this
Dick’spam filter not like me but maybe it is working today.

> manipulate the XML-files through VBA code
Yes it is possible but not knows if it is worth all the trouble to build
a add-in to do this. But maybe I am wrong.
What do you want to do with VBA Dennis
