Well, it’s a whole new Office in 2010. A recent post in the Microsoft Office 2010 Engineering blog announces the direct answer to that request: a customizable Ribbon.
Hello, my name is Melissa Kerr and I am a Program Manager on the Office User Experience team.Today I'm introducing the era of “This is your Ribbon!”, made possible by the new Ribbon customization feature available in Office 2010. Ribbon customization is available across all Office 2010 client applications, and allows you to create a personalized Ribbon optimized to the way you work with the application.
Customization is the ability to add, remove and relocate commands within an application, and is not a new idea. It began with Command Bars in Office 97, progressed to the Quick Access Toolbar in Office 2007, and now has evolved to include Ribbon customization with Office 2010…
Read Melissa’s entire post here. The illustrations in that article show the customization process in Word 2010. But just to assure you, it’s right here in PowerPoint 2010 as well…

The screenshots in this post looks great. How did you crop the screenshot in such effect? Is this done using Office 2010 or any 3rd party tool?

Is there a way to deploy these QAT customizations/files via Office Customization Tool like in Office 2007?
