I was about to ask a question then I stumbled on this code which I tried. It worked and so I thought I'd share it to save somebody else some pain or to inspire creativity.
Sub CreateSimpleShortcutMenu()

Dim cmbShortcutMenu As Office.CommandBar
Dim cmbControl As Office.CommandBarControl

'On Error Resume Next

'Delete the command bar if it already exists

DeleteContextMenu

' Create the shortcut menu.
Set cmbShortcutMenu = CommandBars.Add("SimpleShortcutMenu", msoBarPopup)

With cmbShortcutMenu


'*******************************************************
'* If I was going to use a custom sub/function,
'* this is an example of how I would at least start it
'*******************************************************

' Add a blank command (= with no icon, just text)

Set cmbControl = .Controls.Add(msoControlButton, 1)
cmbControl.Caption = "COMMAND ONE"
cmbControl.OnAction = "=MyFunctionOne()"

' Add a blank command (= with no icon, just text)
Set cmbControl = .Controls.Add(msoControlButton, 1)
cmbControl.Caption = "COMMAND TWO"
cmbControl.OnAction = "=MyDFunctionTwo()"


End With

Set cmbControl = Nothing
Set cmbShortcutMenu = Nothing

End Sub

______________________________________________

Sub DeleteContextMenu()

On Error Resume Next
CommandBars("SimpleShortcutMenu").Delete

End Sub

Note you MUST have a reference for the Office 12.0 Object Library or Higher (Versions 2007= 12.0, 2010=14.0, 2013= 15.0)

I hope this helps or inspires someone else who may be looking for a solution like this.
