Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro shows how to get the currently active UI for your document without replacing the application-level custom UI. It also saves any existing custom menus to a file and specifies that the current document use those menus. You must write additional code to add your custom UI items.

This macro uses the VBA keyword Kill to delete a file on disk. Use this keyword carefully, because you cannot undo a Kill command once it has been run, and you will not get a prior warning message.
