are you using VSTO for programming? try the following private Word.Application myApplication; private Office.CommandBarButton myControl; private Word.Template customTemplate; private void ThisAddIn_Startup( object sender, System.EventArgs e) { myApplication = this .Application; GetCustomTemplate(); RemoveExistingMenuItem(); AddMenuItem(); } private void GetCustomTemplate() { object TemplatePath = Environment.GetFolderPath (Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments) + "\MyCustomTemplate.dotx" ; object install = true ; foreach (Word.Template installedTemplate in myApplication.Templates) { if (installedTemplate.FullName == ( string )TemplatePath) { install = false ; } } if (( bool )install) { myApplication.AddIns.Add(TemplatePath.ToString(), ref install); } customTemplate = myApplication.Templates.get_Item( ref TemplatePath); } private void RemoveExistingMenuItem() { Office.CommandBar contextMenu = myApplication.CommandBars[ "Text" ]; myApplication.CustomizationContext = customTemplate; Office.CommandBarButton control = (Office.CommandBarButton)contextMenu.FindControl (Office.MsoControlType.msoControlButton, missing, "MyMenuItem" , true , true ); if ((control != null )) { control.Delete( true ); } } private void AddMenuItem() { myApplication.CustomizationContext = customTemplate; Office.MsoControlType menuItem = Office.MsoControlType.msoControlButton; myControl = (Office.CommandBarButton)myApplication.CommandBars[ "Text" ].Controls.Add (menuItem,missing, missing, 1, true ); myControl.Style = Office.MsoButtonStyle.msoButtonCaption; myControl.Caption = "My Menu Item" ; myControl.Tag = "MyMenuItem" ; myControl.Click += new Microsoft.Office.Core._CommandBarButtonEvents_ClickEventHandler (myControl_Click); customTemplate.Saved = true ; GC.Collect(); } void myControl_Click(Microsoft.Office.Core.CommandBarButton Ctrl, ref bool CancelDefault) { System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show( "My Menu Item clicked" ); }
