You need to add the new group using ribbon XML that's submitted when the
GetCustomUI() callback is fired. You also will need to handle the callbacks
for your ribbon controls.

If you know nothing about this you need to go to the MSDN Office Developer
Web site and download sample applications for either shared or VSTO addins,
whichever you are using, and see how to proceed with your code and XML.

You should also download the XML schemas for the ribbons in Office 2007 from
the same Web site.

The rule is you can create a new group in an existing tab, or create a new
tab, but you can't modify existing groups in an existing tab. So you can do
what you want.

Look at this XML snippet:

<ribbon>
<tabs>
<tab idMso="TabInsert">
<group id="myCustomGroup" insertAfterMso="GroupInclude"
getLabel="Ribbon_getLabel" getVisible="Ribbon_getVisible">

That's the type of XML you have to supply, in this case the XML was for a
new group in the Insert tab.

Sorry, I've never worked with gallery controls in a ribbon, I can't help
with that. If it were me I'd do some googling on that to find samples I
could review.

I told you I've never worked with gallery controls, so I have no information
or insights in working with them at all.

As far as inserting text unless you are using Redemption you more or less
would have to get the HTMLBody and cast it as an IHTMLDocument object and
then use HTML code to work with the document. At that point it's all HTML
coding that would be covered in an HTML group.
