Hello

Does any one know if it is posible to disable or hide the Word Option, "Show
Developer tab in Ribbon", if so, how?

Thanks

Hi Cresta,

The display of the Developer tab is turned off by default and you can configure it that way in the Office 2007 Configuration Tool,
but to preserve it, there doesn't seem to be a policy setting for it so locking the registry or section of it would likely be
needed.

What are you trying to accomplish in this case? You could still get to just about all of the items on the Developer ribbon tab
through other means within Word.

As always, it's user domination. Tech support people have been trying, and
failing, to impose their will on users for decades. When will they ever
learn?

Microsoft have designed a corporate system that, by disallowing all sorts of
customization, should stop untrained users getting into the various pickles
they used to. It would be better to learn to work with it instead of trying
to fight it before knowing how it works. It would also help ... no I've said
enough.

Enjoy,
