• Visual Studio Tools for Office Error Checking XML customization code

  Is there any way to check the format and structure of the XML that I attempt to write to customize the Word Ribbon from within Visual Studio before pressing F5 which opens Word and then reports a bunch of errors. Thanks. You can add the customui.xsd file to your project. That way you will see your errors in the XML schema before you hit F5.
