Is it possible to show/hide ribbon icons/groups based on Office version?
Could you please point me in the area of the documentation that would lead me in the correct direction?

Found this so far... 

Select Case Me.HostMajorVersion
  Case 14
    CurrentHost = "2010"
  Case 15
    CurrentHost = "2013"
  Case 16
    CurrentHost = "2016"
End Select

Any additional help or alternate ways would be greatly appreciated.
What is the version for 2019?

Hello Mark,

This is a correct way. Applications from Office 2016, 2019 and 365 return 16. I don't know a way to distinguish these versions.
