How to create custom shapes menu in Powerpoint

By the "Shapes Menu," I mean the menu that you get to from the ribbon by going to Home -> Shapes.

I would like to either:

  1. Choose my own shapes for within the Shapes menu, including changing the names of separators
  2. Create my own ribbon menu from scratch that allows you to create a gallery with separators

Here is a picture:

Note: I'm interested in doing this for Powerpoint 2013, not sure if that makes a difference.

A global intro to the Ribbon is available on the Microsoft site at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa338202%28v=office.12%29.aspx. Be sure to check out parts 2 and 3, links to which are located in left menu of that page above.

More specifically, you might find some useful guidance on building a Gallery at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd904887%28v=office.12%29.aspx.

In terms of modifying the XML behind ribbons, I use the Custom UI editor. You can download it at http://openxmldeveloper.org/blog/b/openxmldeveloper/archive/2009/08/07/7293.aspx
