Ribbon Controls created using Custom UI Editor for Microsoft Office not displaying

Question

I've used this functionality before, so I know I can get it to work, however, it's not working with this one workbook.   I'm copying the customUI14.xml here in case someone sees something obvious.  I've validated the XML and it comes back as well formed.   I'm using Excel 2010. 

<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui">

<ribbon>

<tabs>

<tab id="ctThisWorkbook1" label="This Workbook">

<group id="cgFilterAll" label="Filter">

<button id="cbFilterRevisions" label="Filter Revisions" size="large" onAction="FilterRevisions" imageMso="Filter" />

<button id="cbFilterComments" label="Filter Comments" size="large" onAction="FilterComments" imageMso="Filter" />                           

</group>

</tab>

</tabs>

</ribbon>

</customUI>

Answer 1

Nope.  I know that can be an issue.   I've saved the changes and they are still with the XML of the workbook, so something must be going on when the workbook is opened.   I also am aware that naming groups, tabs, buttons the with the same name might be an issue if other workbooks have those names.  I've also had issues when I try to update files that are on SharePoint, so I need to save them to my desktop to update and then upload back to SharePoint .   This is the first time I've seen this problem though.

Hi Barb,

Works fine here.

Did you have the workbook open when creating the Ribbon XML?
