If you have a recent edition of VB .NET, Visual Basic, or Visual Studio (2005 and up), you can use
the XML editor that is a component of these programs. If you have the Express Edition of Visual
Basic 2005, SQL Server 2005, or Visual Web Developer 2005 (free downloads from the Visual
Studio page of the Microsoft web site found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/
express/vb/download/), these editions of VB and SQL Server also contain XML editors. See
Figure 15.4 later in this chapter for a view of XML code in this editor.FIGURE 15.2

From http://openxmldeveloper.org/archive/2006/05/26/CustomUIeditor.aspx
you can download the Custom UI Editor Tool, for use in writing XML code to customize the Office
2007 Ribbon.I installed this utility, attempted to open a saved XML file in it (one that opened fine in the VB
2005 Express XML editor and XML Notepad 2007), and got a message that the file contains cor-
rupted data. However, I was able to copy XML code to the clipboard and paste it into the editor
window. The Custom UI Editor (see Figure 15.3) is not as useful for editing XML Ribbon code as
either the VB 2005 XML Editor or XML Notepad 2007, so I would recommend using one of those
editors instead.Part III Adding More Functionality to Office
