Default How do I add commands to the ribbon in Word2007?

You can easily customize the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT). You could
only customize the Ribbon if you were skilled in some arcane sort of
programming.

I've done this in Word 2003 but can't figure out how it's done in 2007. *In
2003, I right click on the menu bar, select customize, select the commands
tab, then under categories select "New Menu" and drag it up to the menu
bar...viola, done! *How is this done is Word 2007?

As a specific example, I'd like one menu command labeled "Diagnosis" and
another "Recommendations". *The "diagnosis" tab will have a list of
selectable diseases which will insert into the form when selected. *Likewise
for the "recommendations" tab.
