How to customize or add your own Tabs/Ribbon in PowerPoint/Office 2010?

While designing some presentation I use to face a problem every-time which is actually the going in a Tab & watching out for my option which I need to use again & again but its the sub-option or sub-menu of that menu/option. But Office 2010 has really helped me out with this issue by having the option of to add my own tab by which I don’t need to go through that same option again & again. So, now I can simply browse my own Tab/Ribbon to add that command/function/option quickly in my presentation.

How to:

1. Go to the “File” tab & select/click “Options”.

Note: While adding the elements/functions in the new tab actually it will not add straight in to the tab for that there is by default 1 group will be created you can add your elements into group & those all options will be shown in that new tab.
