How-to enable the Developer tab in the Office Ribbon bar

Today I had a friend ask me to write a macro for a Word Template that would update some versioning information that is present in several places throughout the document. I have written macros for Excel in the past, but never with any of the Office 2007 products. The first thing I discovered was that I couldn’t find anything on any of the tabs for creating a macro. So of course I go to my best friend `google` and find this article by Erika Ehrli that references the Beta 2 version. She provided very good instructions for enabling the Developer Tab, but of course it wasn’t completely relevent for the GA version of Office 2007. So I thought I would give an updated intruction list as it only took me about 15 minutes to figure it out.

1. Open any of the Office 2007 applications.
2. Click the Microsoft Office Button in the upper left hand corner of the application.
   
3. Select Options from the bottom of the Menu.
4. Under Popular Options, which is the default starting point, you will see Top Options for working with X. X is the name of the Office Application you are working with.
5. Check the box to Show Developer Tab in Ribbon.

That is all there is to it. Now you have access to the Developer tab.
