Custom ribbon on network somehow corrupted. How do I fix?

I am a teacher using Word 2013 on a network.  I created customs ribbons for all the lab computers on one computer, and this was imaged onto all our lab computers in September.  All users could access them.
 Sometime in the last few months the custom ribbons got corrupted.  When I tried to demonstrate to my students the other day, the "align center" button (which was part of a custom group) was visible, but grayed out so we couldn't use
it.  I also had a custom button for Online Pictures, and that has disappeared.  In addition, Word Art is visible as an option, but it doesn't work when you choose it.
1.  Can anyone speculate what happened and how I can fix it?  Is it possible to somehow restore the customizations I made?  Even if I try to create a NEW custom ribbon under my username, I can't get the "align center" button to be
enabled.  I suppose we could go to the default ribbon, but its very complicated for my kindergarten and first grade students.
2.  If I re-do a custom ribbon, how do I make it available to all network users on a computer?
Thank you.

Hi,
In regarding of your network environment, I have some confused. Did you deploy all the lab computers with the customs ribbons? If it was, did the customs ribbons corrupt in every lab computer?
For your first question, I recommend you export a customized ribbon which named
"Word Customizations.exportedUI". It'll help you import them if you have to reinstall the Word (or other Office programs) or if you want to move the same customizations to a different computer; for example, if you have to replace your computer.
Then we try to
repair Office 2013 to fix  "align center" button.
For your second question, please put the  "Word Customizations.exportedUI"
in a shared folder. And we import it to all the computers one by one.

  • My library may be corrupted, how do i fix this?

    i have a couple of libraries on my external hard drive. i take a lot of pictures, i store and work with my pics on my EHD, so i don't take up too much space on my computer. the most recent library on my EHD i think has become corrupted. i can no longer burn discs of my photos normally.
    i am thinking i could try to make a new library and see if this resolves my problem. does that make sense?
    how do i do make a new library on my external hard drive? i want to keep the libraries on my EHD. can i take the corrupted library and fix it, by creating a new library? i kind of know how to do it working from the internal hard drive to external hard drive. but want to double check with the experts before i do something wrong.
    thanks for any help you can offer!

    Why do you think the Library is corrupted?
    i can no longer burn discs of my photos normally.
    What does “normally” mean?
    If you want to rebuild a Library... Though I think you should find out more before you do...
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

    keep in mind that every second you actually USE your computer lessens the chance even further that any file recovery software can restore anything:

  • How can I activate Built In Ribbon Tab (i.e. TabHome) from the custom ribbon tab ?

    Yes, lots of informations are there about how to activate the custom tab from out there.
    But, there are no such informations, How to activate the Built In Ribbon Tab (i.e. TabHome) from the custom ribbon tab.
    I am with VS 2010, Word 2010, Win 8.1
    I am not good at XMLs. Tell me with designer ways Please.
    Thanks !

    Hello,
    The Ribbon Ui designer doesn't provide anything for that.
    You need to use the
    ActivateTab method of the
    IRibbonUi interface. See
    Ribbon Extensibility in Office 2010: Tab Activation and Auto-Scaling for more information. You can find the built-in control IDs in

    Hi Tahir,
    Using javascript you can show/hide ribbon on particualr page.
    Open your SharePoint master page
    Locate this line: <div
    id="s4-ribbonrow"
    class="s4-pr s4-ribbonrowhidetitle">
    Change it to: <div
    id="s4-ribbonrow"
    class="s4-pr s4-ribbonrowhidetitle"
    style="display:none">
    Now find the end of the “s4-ribbonrow” tag and add following
    block right after it: <Sharepoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl
    ID="SPSecurityTrimmedControl2"
    runat="server"
    PermissionsString="AddAndCustomizePages">
        <script
    type="text/javascript">
            document.getElementById("s4-ribbonrow").style.display =
    "block";     </script> </Sharepoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>
    Save the new master page and publish it.
    Or try this feature.
