The ribbon buttons are greyed out by default, and are enabled by a custom Sharepoint JS function executing on page load, so you must take care that your own Javascript doesn't throw any exceptions/doesn't overwrite the default onload handler for the pop-up edit window.
Hey there, I am trying to remove the 'store' icon under 'add-ins' from office 2016, specifically Outlook 2016. I disabled the store entirely in windows using group policy - computer/user - windows components - store - 'disable store' however this has not got rid of the icon. I took a quick look in the office 2016 templates and dont see anything specific. Also weird, is that it is under a subheading called 'addins' however when i go to the add-ins section of outlook, I dont see anything specifically referring to the 'store'. How do i get rid of the icon using group policy?
Icon pictured below for reference. Hi Paul, I was trying to do what you were looking for as well, a way to remove or disable the Store icon in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. After some test, we found a way to do this. You can disable the Store icon in Word by adding the command ID 16243 and 16245 for each of the apps in GPO for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Command ID 16243 will gray out the Store icon.
Command ID 16245 will gray out 'My Add-ins', because sure enough, there is another Store link if you click on 'My Add-ins' in Insert - Add-ins, which is below the Store icon. This is the only way I found to prevent user from click the Store icons and/or links.
GPO - User Configuration - Administrative Template - Microsoft Word 2016 - Disable Items in User Interface - Custom - Disable commands - 'Enabled' - Show. (Enter the list of command ID, i.e. 16243, 16245.
You will need to add this command ID for each Office app that you want to disable the Store and My Add-ins to.) Then just apply the GPO to the OU. I know that I am late to the party, but for anyone, who is coming in now, the Group Policy admin template adds the following registry entry to remove the store. So create this, and then re-open Outlook, and it will be gone. You can add this exactly to a text document with a.reg file extension, and then click on it to add it to the registry automatically. NOTE: you cannot have file extensions hidden or you will see yourfilename.reg, but it will really be yourfilename.reg.txt with the txt just hidden. I have done this on several computers successfully.

. You own ribbon tab Here’s an example of what’s possible. It’s a combination of regularly needed tools plus some Word features that are not on any ribbon. We’ve renamed some items and changed some icons.
What’s added and changed? The buttons we’ve added aren’t anything special.
We made this one as an example of what’s possible on the ribbon, not what you might use. Some of the text labels are deliberately strange, just to prove that the Office ribbon doesn’t have to be boring. KWN – aka ‘Paragraph Keep with Next’. An example of a command not on the ribbon and renaming it. We often use this command to ensure that a text paragraph stays on the same page as the image or chart below it. Grow / Shrink Font 1pt – another useful feature not on the ribbon.
It’s handy for adjusting text to exactly fit a line but no more. What you see – a ribbon group label. Groups along the ribbon aren’t necessary but can be helpful. Side Pane – opens the Navigation Pane at left, renamed to shorter text. See the entire page – is View One Page renamed Page Width – the usual view when typing. Navigation – a group with three commands not on the standard Word ribbon. Language – this group puts some frequently used Language options in easy reach.
Some of these options are on various tabs of the default ribbon while others aren’t on any ribbon at all. Either way, they’re now on a single tab for fast access or reference. How to make a custom ribbon tab Making a custom ribbon is fairly simple but it’s much the same as changing the Quick Access Toolbar. Open the ribbon customization box from by right-clicking on the ribbon and choosing ‘Customize the Ribbon’: On the left is the list of available commands.
The right side are the ribbons in Word, Excel or PowerPoint. A few features of this page worth highlighting. Add / Remove – choose an item then click Add or Remove to switch on or off the custom ribbon.
Up / Down – anything on the ribbon can be moved. A tab, section or individual item can move around easily. No need to worry about exact placement of items when you add them to your ribbon because that can be adjusted later. Finding a command Finding the command you want isn’t easy but there are some shortcuts to scrolling the long All commands list. Pull-down the ‘Choose commands from:’ list to see some possibilities.
Commands not on the ribbon – possibly the most interesting for Office nerds. All the smaller command options plus some older commands that have been replaced or enhanced. All Tabs shows the ribbon visible commands grouped according to their type and tab. It includes the default ‘Main’ tabs plus the ribbons that appear as necessary like Picture, Table or Chart. Make a new tab Make a new tab by right-clicking on the right-side list and choose Add New Tab Rename and icon Custom tabs, groups and items can be renamed. Right-click on any item and choose Rename.
We often shorten the long name given by Microsoft or just something different. For groups and items you can also choose from a relatively limited set of icons. Either to replace the default icon or add one that’s missing. Export / Import You can export your ribbon customizations from the Import / Export option at bottom right. This exports to ‘. Customizations.exportedUI‘ file all custom tabs you’ve made.
The file is plain text XML that you can open in any text editor. Exporting helps you move customizations to another computer but also opens up more geeky goodness.

Edit out customizations you don’t want moved to another machine. Make sure you don’t break the strict XML tags. Hide parts of your custom ribbon by changing visible=”true” to visible=”false” You can edit the XML file to make changes not available from the Office customization interface like including icons from other sources. Under the hood Ribbon changes are NOT saved in the document/template as are. No, we don’t understand it either.
Before Office 2007, toolbar customization could be saved for particular documents. Not only did Microsoft drop that from very useful option, they’ve stubbornly refused to even consider restoring it. Since 2007 ribbon customization seems to have more to do with alchemy than anything fitting for the 21 st Century. Ribbon customizations are saved separately and loaded with normal.dotm. Otherwise you need VBA code to load a custom ribbon with a specific template or document. If you want to delve into the details, start with though the Ribbon editor isn’t available now.
