Hi Larry,
If you create a custom toolbar in a template or document in a prior edition (not add items to a built in toolbar) and load that
document/template in Word 2007 the toolbar will appear in the Add-In tab of Word 2007 and you can right click on it there and that
will add it to the QAT as the 'Custom Toolbars' choice. The 'custom menus' choice should work in a similar manner. Basically it's
going to give you what you see in the Add-Ins tab.
There are a couple of 3rd party products that address this. One packages a 'look alike' menu set from Word 2003, one
(
http://pschmid.net) provides a utility with a UI to modify the ribbon to sort of roll your own, although if I recall correctly the
author (OneNote MVP Patrick Schmid) hasn't added the macros support module yet. Another is a dev kit to sort of drag and drop
'parts' into play to customize and there is also customization instructions for using the extensibility language (RibbonX) for the
Ribbon on
http://msdn.microsoft.com/office
An Example for adding a menu dropdown for macros in Excel 2007 is available at
http://rondebruin.nl/qat2.htm (from Excel MVPs Ron
deBruin and John Walkenbach)

Doug, you cannot be serious.
Are you saying that the user cannot create a custom menu and add items to
that menu?
I have vast numbers of macros on my own custom menus. It is central to the
way I work. Does MS think that people no longer create custom commands and
macros and need an easy way to access them?
To take away the ability to create custom menus is a "reform" of Word. It
is a DESTRUCTION of Word.
What the hell is going on????
