Thanks for the information, in reading the OOo 2.0 developer's guide I saw a
lot of text on creating menus using addons so I focused on that. I'm going
to see what I can find out about the menu configuration API.

If you have any places I should look please share.

I was afraid of that. I'm thinking of going out of my component and turning
it into an installer so it could edit the XML files in OOo itself at install
time but I really don't want to go that route.

What would you recommend as the best supported UI modification to do the
following. The toolbar dropdown I was planning is going to have a set of
text labels used for marking paragraphs. It could have say 10-15 items in it
which when selected by the user will mark the paragraph the user is
currently working on. I put together some test code to actually mark the
paragraph but the UI piece is what I'm trying to figure out.
