Word 2007: Add button to location other than AddIns tab.

[Ed]

VBA apparently knows how to add a button or a drop down list to the Word
2007 AddIns tab in reponse to 'legacy' (Word2003) VBA code. I have figured
out how to create a new tab in the 2007 ribbon called "My Program" but I
cannot figure out how to add the button and dropdown lists that so easily
appear in the AddIns tab to appear over in the "MyProgram" tab. Is there a
way to do this?
