Problem adding ribbon group to a contextual tab

J

Joe

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 to create PowerPoint AddIns. I've figured
out how to put custom groups on built in tabs (TabDesign and
TabInsert). However, my attempt to put a custom group in
TabChartToolsDesign fails when PowerPoint loads. The Custom UI XML
error says it "Failed to find Office control by ID"; the next line is
"ID TabChartToolsDesign"

This makes a little bit of sense, as TabChartToolsDesign is a
contextual tab, not visible unless a chart is selected. But does that
mean it's off-limits to customization?

Any advice or sympathy would be appreciated.
