Adding a button to a Word context menu

[Guest]

What I want to do:
I want to add a button to the shortcut menu (context menu/rightclick menu)
that appears when a user right-clicks on a piece of text.
I want it to be compatible with word 2000 and up
I want to use Visual Basic .Net .

So far I've started to fumble around with a shared add-in for a bit, but I
have no idea if what I want is even possible nor how to do it. Can anyone
point me in the right direction here?

Hi,

I think you are talking about smart tags.
