Hello Greg,

u'll find a link to the 'Office Custom UI Editor' in the following article:
http://openxmldeveloper.org/archive/2009/08/07/7293.aspx
...Contains both Office 2007 and Office 2010 custom UI schemas ...
You have to add the schemas to the envirmonment of your xmlEditor.
eg in VisualStudio put them to ~Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 
9.0\Xml\Schemas
