Microsoft has decided that no one can change any of the built-in groups on
the ribbon. :-(
Patrick Schmid offers a RibbonCustomizer add-in
(
http://www.pschmid.net/office2007/ribboncustomizer) that will let you add
your own group, with whatever content you want, to any ribbon. If your
customization needs go beyond one button, I heartily recommend it.
If it's just the one button, add it to your Quick Access Toolbar.
Right-click the button you want and select "Add to Quick Access Toolbar", or
right-click the toolbar itself and select "Customize Quick Access Toolbar",
then find the appropriate command (the dropdown at the top of the list lets
you choose the category) and click Add.
