i would draw your attention to
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85738
currently you cannot add new sheets using the Sheets and Objects dialog
i have no idea if it windows specific.

abiword has plugin based around curl for downloading dictionary files that
might be adapted to download additional shapes collections.
http://www.abisource.com/lxr/source/abi/src/af/xap/xp/xap_HashDownloader.cpp
(just one of the files.  Im sure one of the developer would explain
if requested)
