primedocs Add-In - Excel (EN)

If you went through the Add-In descriptions for Word and PowerPoint before getting to this page, you’ll probably be thinking: “Well, this look familiar!” And this is of course by design.

The Add-In ribbons for Microsoft Office are deliberately kept similar to make them as easy as possible to use. They vary where each application has its specific specialities.

And so it is here: Excel retains the primedocs, dave, properties, profile selection and language buttons.

The first new button we encounter is directly below the language seelction button, labelled “Apply theme”. This applies a specific theme (colours, fonts) to the workbook. In the screenshot above it is greyed out because the workbook already has the desired theme.

“Sheets” adds a new worksheet to the workbook every time you click on it. It also ensures that the new worksheet has the correct colour and font theme applied, right from the start.

Then we have the colour selections for fill, line and text colours, like in Word and PowerPoint. This is followed by the text formatting tools, again, these correspond to the text formatting in Excel and help you work from this ribbin, without having to switch ribbons all the time.

The chart tools correspond closely to PowerPoint. “Insert chart” lets you choose a chart type to insert. “Change type” lets you switch the selected chart to a different chart type. “Colour sequence” allows you to change the colour sequence - provided your CI allows different colour sequences. “Reset” resets the design of the selcted chart back to its default colours, fonts, and other design settings.
