I figured out that some of the examples point out to the developer menu in Microsoft Excel, Word and Outlook. For some reason, i don’t see that menu item in the Ribbon.

The application Microsoft Excel quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Excel for Mac 2011 Step 1: Quit all programs and close all windows. On the Apple menu, click Force Quit. Select an application in the 'Force Quit Applications' window. On the First Aid tab, click Repair Disk Permissions.
Am i missing out something? Is there any specific setting or configuration to make the Developer tab visible?Thanks for the good question.As we explained in the past, the simplest way to automate tasks in Microsoft Office applications (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, Visio, Access and Outlook) is using Macros. Excel, Word and Visio ship a built-in Macro recorder that allows you to capture a specific sequence of actions and re-use them later on.
Recording macros might be good for starters, but most probably you will be using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to write your own custom Macros.On top of that, popular applications like Outlook and PowerPoint do not offer the macro recorder so you’ll need VBA chops if you want to automate a presentation or a mail message. Adding the Developer menu to the RibbonThe best way to access the VBA developer environment, is the so-called Developer tab. The tab is turned off by default in Microsoft Office, but you can learn how to set it up in a breeze.Follow along as we setup the macro VBA development in Excel, Word, Outlook and other Office apps:. First off, open your Office application. In this walk through i have focused on Excel, but the process for the other apps is quite similar. Place your mouse on the Ribbon and hit your mouse right click menu.
Then go ahead and hit Customize the Ribbon.
