Custom Word 2010 ribbon, specify the alt key

Question

Hi,
I need to make a custom tab in the ribbon in word 2010 (which I have worked out how to do) but I want to specify the key that is used for it and for the sub tab options.
e.g. I create a tab called ABC and the system automatically assigns it to be Alt Y but I would like to make it Alt A (or some other unused letter).
Then the options under the tab i would like to be something like 1, 2, 3, 4 etc, so to select the 3rd option i would press Alt A 3.

Is there a way to specify these letters? Is there a tool or program that would give me better control / options for building these menus?

Thanks for any help
Ian

Hi,

As my experience, this behavior was by design.

Customize the Office fluent ribbon may accomplish your request, see following articles:

How to: Customize the Office Fluent Ribbon by Using an Open XML Formats File

How to: Customize the Office Fluent Ribbon by Using a Managed COM Add-in

How to: Customize the Office Fluent Ribbon by Using a Visual Basic COM Add-in

According your description, this issue is more Office for developer related. In order to get the answer effectively, it is recommended to post a new thread in Microsoft Office for Developer Forum(Word for Developers or Visual Studio Tools for Office) for further discussion.
