thank you sir providing this link....but it works only for one word document if i want to make visible my custom tab to all documents what i need to do ....give me the code please.
As far as I am aware the VBA IDE is not able to access the CustomUI xml - you might be able to convert a document to zip format, then locate and edit the CustomUI however I've tried manually editing the CustomUI and get problems simply by using a zip program other than (from memory) win-zip.

Also there are things that the custom UI editor does that might take a lot of work to recreate... like for example embedding icons.  I think these are stored as Base64 encoded strings...

Why don't you want to use the CustomUI tool?
My TL do that task without using CustomUI editor.if you have any solution for that please tell me with sample code step by step.


        thank you for responding.
A solution... sure, you can give your TL a copy of the CustomUI editor ;-)

Seriously, what you are asking is (IMHO) too much... the code would be extensive and your request is rather vague.  What is a TL? Team Leader?

Why does it matter how your TL does things, you'll probably do it much faster with the CustomUI editor?!
thank you for reply....
    i have done that with customUI but i can see that custom Tab only for one word document only to which i opened in customUI editor.if i want to make that custom tab visible to all word documents what i need to do.    
                                 thank you.
Use the tool on a template - .dotm and save the template in the global template folder  (aka word startup folder)
i am getting the error like...
