asked on Word 2013 custom ribbon to toggle an advanced option on and off
Hello,
We have some users that have paragraph line spacing formatting issues with certain Word files. We discovered the issue to be a default setting in Word that uses HTML paragraph auto spacing. When we check the box to turn that feature off, the formatting issue is resolved.
Since this does not affect every document, it is troublesome for the user to go to File | Options | Advanced for the documents where this fix is needed. I understand that Microsoft provides the Custom UI XML tool to create custom Ribbon tabs for Word but I am novice with it.
So my question, is it possible to create a custom Ribbon for Word 2013 that has a button that can toggle the feature below on and off with a single click? If so, what are the steps to accomplish that?

Thank you for the reply, but that option does not exist in that list. Any other suggestions?

Thanks! That is what I was looking for.
Great...glad I could help :)
I would suggest you read https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Customize-the-ribbon-in-Office-00f24ca7-6021-48d3-9514-a31a460ecb31 for more info
and that you add this button to the quick access toolbar (qat) and not the ribbon
Same steps but rather than right clicking on the ribbon you right click on the QAT and select More commands
