The presence of the Add-ins tab indicates you are using an add-in designed
for previous versions of Word that contains custom toolbars/menus. Since
Word 2007 doesn't have toolbars/menus any customizations from previous
versions display on the Add-ins tab. The only way to add to it is to use a
previous version and modify thr toolbars/menus.

For Word 2007 you can add your macros to the Quick Access Toolbar. You can
also customize the Ribbon but that requires some XML knowledge. To add a
macro to the Quick Access Toolbar, right-click the QAT and then click the
"Customize.." command. From the "Choose commands from" list select "Macros.
The rest should be self-explanatory.

If you still have access to Word 2003 (or earlier) you can create a toolbar
to carry your macros to the add-ins tab -

edit the ribbon - see Greg's reply for an explanation.

Deena,

On our new website (without any Flash) we have created an add-in for Word,
Excel and PowerPoint that brings back the original Office 2003 menus and
toolbars into Office 2007 for less than $20.

Besides being able to customize and add unlimited toolbars and menu items,
ToolbarToggle allows the old style floating and docking anywhere. Through a
key press, you can turn the Ribbon on or off, turn the commandbars and menus
on or off as well REPLACE the Ribbon entirely. ToolbarToggle even accepts
shortcut keys (Alt+F, Alt+E, etc..).

Please try the demo let us know if you feel this helps solve your problems.

You can download ToolbarToggle from:
http://www.toolbartoggle.com
