#WHY DON'T I HAVE THE RIBBON BUTTON IN MY RIBBON AND TOOLBAR PREFERENCES IN EXCEL FOR MAC 2016 UPDATE#
The November 2015 update hasįixed a few issues that I saw in the first release and I'm certain over the coming months more issues will be fixed. There isn't a "user friendly" interface yet for ribbon customization and right now you have to use a tool that only runs on a PC.īut if you have a critical need to make a custom ribbon button or menu appear, as of the October 2015 update, it can be done and John McGhie mentioned above in his posting the things you need to do and links you should explore.

Just understand this is early "beta" code related to ribbon customization, which means you/they will find problems that shouldīe reported. I'm sharing this because Mac Office 2016 users should be aware there are things they can do right now with ribbon customization. Ribbon coding, I have reported them and I am certain they will get fixed. It's not perfect, visually you can see differences and a few buttons you can see don't actually work. if you are technically proficient you can modify the Ribbon and here's proof of custom ribbon XML code running on Office 2013 for the PC and Office 2016 for the Mac.Īs I said, this is the exact same code, in fact it is the exact same "DOTM" template opening on each platform.
Why would I be offended? Generally because illiteracy and ignorance offends me.Īs for what can be done now. and I willīe offended if anyone subsequently wants to claim otherwise or nit pick any information I have taken the time to share. It is not a defense of decisions that have been made by others.

My point of sharing the above is only to provide some knowledge and perspective about software product development, which I am qualified to provide. It's not unlike what other software manufacturers are doing these days and either we consumers will love it or hate it. They have changed their 2-3 year package and delivery schedule to a monthly one of what's ready is released. However, month by month, bit by bit Microsoft is rolling out what is ready at that that's the objective and it takes time because there are most likely hundreds of thousands of lines of code that need to be altered. and it would probably be prudent to point out that by platform you have to consider all of them, from Mobile devices to the Desktop.Ĭommonize (sic) and optimize the code. Or at least as much as can be, handling all platforms. This is generally what the Office Product Team at Microsoft is trying to do. The second approach is to work in one copy of the code and make it work on both platforms, which eliminates having to maintain multiple copies of the "same" code.
The first is to make a copy of all code related to the ribbon in the PC version of all Office applications and give it to a team of programmers who strip out all PC stuff and put in the Mac stuff. Now comes the process of doing this and there are two ways. This is just a very small example of the hundreds and maybe thousands of things that have to be checked and modified. But access to them is slower and thus code has to be changed in an attempt to optimize This is where Office stores among many things all of the User Options (called Preferences on the Mac) and on a Mac the Registry does not exist so Plist files are used instead. On the PC there exists an important Database called the Windows Registry,

that is what is being done but coding changes and testing still need to be made no matterĭue to the fact that each platform has a different Operating System, all of the coding that interfaces with the Graphic Card drivers and File I/O drivers of the OS must be changed. I'm referring to what was available to developers like me in VS-2008 and then VS-2010.Ī valid question that appears to be asked often is, "Why can't the code used on the PC for ribbon customization also be used on the Mac?" and the real answer is. It also took 2 years in the Visual Studio world to move from raw XML coding methods to a "Visual Designer" approach for For those of us who remember the first version of Office 2007 on the PC and how long it took to getĪ more "user friendly" method of customizing/designing the ribbon, which was called Office 2010, 2-years seems like a reasonable guess.

I don't disagree with John's time estimate because I believe he's referring to full parity with all functions and user capabilities across the platforms. FWIW - this response is not to my friend Jim Gordon but generally to all who read this thread.
