What is the "Save As" menu item id?
I want to create a new menu item right after the Save As one

Hi, I have a Ribbon Office Menu, which has a "Custom Save" button, and I want to set its InsertAfterId so that the button shows up after the "Save As" one.

Is there a list of all the menu item ids? What should I set it to? Thanks

I still can't find the integer ID of the Save As / Save Office Menu items in those files. It tried looking at the 2003 and 2007 versions.

Oh, a Ribbon ID is a string, not an integer. See the ControlName column in those files.

Its not working for me. I have a RibbonOfficeMenu with a RibbonButton called "Custom Save" and I set the "InsertAfterId" or "InsertAfterIdMso" to "FileSaveAs" (which is from WordRibbonControls.xlsx)... but the button still shows up at the bottom of the ribbon menu, but I want it to show up after the Save As menu item.

Andrei,

You need to use InsertAfterIdMso := 'FileSaveAsMenu'. Does it work for you?

Now, how do I do this with a CommandBarButton inside of a MainMenu? I want a "Custom Save" button to appear under the "Save As" menu item. I have a MenuItem control with a CommandBarButton control and when I set its "AfterId" to 'FileSaveAsMenu' I get the error 'FileSaveAsMenu is not a valid integer value.'

it doesn't work if I set the property programatically either

Andrei,

While the ID of a Ribbon control is a string, the ID of a command bar control is an integer value; find it using our free Built-in Control Scanner (see Downloads | Free Stuff in the main menu of the web site).
