Outlook 2010 Reading Pane Toggle

[Waggers]

Does anyone know if it's possible to put a reading pane toggle onto the home
ribbon?

I'm trying to figure a way to do a simple on/off.

The off/right/bottom commands are not exposed, only the menu where yo
choose one of the options. Should be able ot use VBA to make a toggle i
you don't want to expand the button.

To add it to the ribbon or QAT, go to file, options, customize ribbo
(or QAT). Select All commands, tab into the commands and type R to jum
down

Oops... i lied. I didn't look at the right ribbon. Select Views (in th
Customize ribbon dialog) and you can add Off and Right buttons (readin
pane off is the one with the icon) - its not a toggle, but you can avoi
the drop menu. If you really want a toogle, use VBA

Many thanks indeed - the two buttons are fine!

(Why on earth didn't I think of that!)

The Microsoft Office 2010 forums are at:

FWIW,
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/officeoutlook is
the correct URL to push people to. The TechNet beta forum was closed and
its targeted to IT Pros now. Answers is taking over for this group, which
will be closed in coming months.

You undoubtably saw that the question was answered well before you decided to
chime in. Your post of this serves no purpose except to attract attention to
yourself. You serve no one except yourself with this inaccurate answer.

Unlike yourself, I still filter out certain posts, especially any that
originate from a webnews-for-boobs interface (other than the one by
Microsoft but which will eventually get phased out). The posts to which you
refer were never seen by me because they originate from a webnews site using
the Vbulletin gateway software. Gateways are used by web-based forums that
want to leech from Usenet to pretend they have a larger community then they
actually have and draw boobs in as fast as the Google Groups webnews-for-
boobs interface. I don't see Google Groupers. I don't see the other
webnews-for-boobs users, either. That's my choice. Your's is to see it
all.

So I take it that your mantra is to never reveal to users another venue for
help. Okay, again your choice, not mine.

"This category is going to be retired in May 2010."

Not dead yet. "in" doesn't specify a date so the statement isn't true until
May has elapsed or those forums actually disappear. They do have a link on
the page to which I linked that takes the user to the URL you mention.

Microsoft decided to take a general-populace and now point it at a community
that is supposedly for IT pros. That won't result in the non-pros from
visiting those same groups they were visiting before. Looks like a bad
choice on how they are trying to switch to a different community of users.
Instead of having the .../office2010 URL redirect to an end-user (non-pro)
category, it redirects to the .../officeitpro (pro) groups. Sometimes you
have to wonder if some folks at MS might enjoy engendering confusion.

So has Office 2010 gone RTM to *end* users yet? Yes, it has been released
to Technet and MSDN subscribers but those folks get support included when
they *buy* those subscriptions. I doubt those folks are the ones here
asking for help on Office 2010 or a component thereof. For the end users
(not Technet/MSDN subscribers) here, it is still a beta version. This isn't
the Technet or MSDN communities. This is a populace of end users. When I
go to http://office.microsoft.com/, I still see it is the beta version shown
on their web pages. Until I see Microsoft actually stops declaring Office
2010 as a beta version on their own web pages is when I will stop pointing
to the forums they recommended before.

I'll keep checking since, I think, it was May (or after May) when Microsoft
was planning to supply the non-beta (RTM) version to non-Technet/MSDN users.
When I see Microsoft no longer declaring it is a beta version is when I'll
stop pointing over at those beta forums.
