You can't do this with an ADDIN in Office 2003.

Using the new VSTO, that will come out with Office 2007, you should be
able to.

For Office 2003, the only possibilities for creating task panes is to
use a document-specific solution. Either implement the ISmartDocument
interface (which requires linking an XML Schema to the document) or
use a VSTO 2.0 solution.
