Here is an example

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim oCb As CommandBar
Dim oCtl As CommandBarPopup
Dim oCtlBtn As CommandBarButton

Set oCb = Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar")
With oCb
Set oCtl = .Controls("Tools").Controls.Add( _
Type:=msoControlPopup, _
temporary:=True)
oCtl.Caption = "myButton"
With oCtl
Set oCtlBtn = .Controls.Add( _
Type:=msoControlButton, _
temporary:=True)
oCtlBtn.Caption = "myMacroButton"
oCtlBtn.FaceId = 161
oCtlBtn.OnAction = "myMacro"
End With
With oCtl
Set oCtlBtn = .Controls.Add( _
Type:=msoControlButton, _
temporary:=True)
oCtlBtn.Caption = "myMacroButton2"
oCtlBtn.FaceId = 161
oCtlBtn.OnAction = "myMacro2"
End With
'etc.
End With
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim oCb As CommandBar

Set oCb = Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar")
oCb.Controls("Tools").Controls("myButton").Delete
End Sub

To add this, go to the VB IDE (ALT-F11 from Excel), and in
the explorer pane, select your workbook. Then select the
ThisWorkbook object (it's in Microsoft Excel Objects which
might need expanding). Double-click the ThisWorkbook and
a code window will open up. Copy this code into there,
changing the caption and action to suit.

This is part of the workbook, and will only exist with the
workbook, but will be available to anyone who opens the
workbook.
