Chapter 1: Getting Familiar with the Excel 2010 Interface
Excel inserts a generic New Tab (Custom) with a generic New Group (Custom)
right below it. This custom tab and group appear between the View tab and the
Developer tab in the Main Tabs list box.
3. Click New Tab (Custom) in the Main Tabs list box to select it and then click the
Rename command button.
Excel opens the Rename dialog box where you can replace the generic New Tab
display name with a descriptive name.
4. Replace New Tab by typing Misc (for Miscellaneous) in the Display Name text box
and then select OK.
Misc (Custom) now appears in the Main Tabs list box sandwiched between View
and Developer.

Adding commands to groups on your custom tab
After you add a custom tab to the Excel 2010 Ribbon, you can then start adding the
commands you want to appear on this tab. Just as with the standard Ribbon tabs,
the commands you add on your own custom tab are arranged in groups. When you first
create a custom tab, it contains only a single, generic New Group (Custom) into which
to add your commands. You can, however, add other groups to the custom tab using
the New Group command button as well as give these groups their own descriptive
names using the Rename command button.
