Default Word 07: Font editor pop-up menu?

I'm sure everyone's noticed the little mini-font editor that pops up when you
right click in a Word '07 document. Is there a way to customize it (add
underline button, etc.)?

Office help is turning up nothing, but that doesn't mean much since I don't
know exactly what to call that little menu!

No, it isn't customizable.

I forget what name Microsoft's marketing crew finally assigned to it, but
during the beta tests it was called "the Floatie".

"Floatie" gave way to "Minibar" (which I quite liked) and ended up as "Mini
Toolbar."

Oh, yes, thanks. I guess "minibar" sounded too much like the overpriced
offerings in hotel rooms. :-)

Well, of course, but that was why I thought it was cute.

The right click menu is customisable to a degree ? I have added a command to
paste unformatted text to mine. See
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Customize_...amatically.htm For
underline, however I would use the shortcut keys.ie CTRL+U
