Default How do I add a tab to the Ribbon?

I have a series of files that I open and modify frequently. Under Word 2003,
I wrote macros opening each, and collected them in a separate menu item. I'd
like to have the same functionality available in Word 2007, but don't see a
way to add a drop down list to the ribbon. Is there a way to do this?

(FWIW, I find the ribbon counter-intuitive, dumbed-down, and a royal PITA to
deal with. It takes me twice as long to do things as it used to. Will
repeated usage shorten this time? Probably. But it bothers me that MS has
decided that it knows better than I do about how I want to create, format,
and print a document, and that the program chooses what tools I want to do
these things (and hides those that it thinks I don't want to use, making them
virtually inaccessible.) It is just about impossible to find something that
isn't under one of the tabs.)
