Jennifer, this one has me a little stumped, but a friend suggested that you
look to see if you have a COM add-in.
These are a little tricky to find, but the directions are in your PowerPoint
Help file. And the directions are not hard.
1) Under Help, just look-up COM, then Add-in, then unload. Follow the
directions on "Unload a COM add-in" and then "How" under 'add COM add-in
command to toolbar'.
a) You will need to display the COM add-in dialog box first.
b) Once you have done this, is there a COM add-in listed in the box? Is it
checked?
c) If a COM add-in is loaded and checked, try un-checking the box next to
the name.
d) OK out of the box and close down PowerPoint.
e) Then reopen it. Did the string of blank commands grow longer? If not,
try to reset your toolbars and see if they still grow these blank buttons.
If this resolves the problem, would you please post back. In fact, post
back either way; this is interesting.

i've removed all the addins, it still does it. What it does, it will add
one extra blank spot in the format menu right above object each time I open
PPT.
