Unfortunately what I described in the newsgroup is still up-to-date as far as things are with us, and my understanding is still limited to what I've discovered on my own.
I was hoping someone might notice and be able to help out, but that hasn't happened. For now I think we're resigned to telling our users that they can't add those buttons to the QAT. I think the overall problem, at least for us, is that Word seems to want to record the QAT preference for any ribbon control defined in a template within the template itself. Furthermore, Word won't actually save the changes to that template unless the template has been explicitly opened. If the template is only open implicitly such as because Word loaded it from the STARTUP folder when the application opened , then any changes to the QAT which relate to controls in that template won't be saved.
Furthermore, in our organisation we want that template to be in a read-only location and we want to overwrite it from time to time with updates, so even if it was possible to get Word to realise it was supposed to save the changes somehow, having it save those preferences in that location probably wouldn't work anyway. We only have one COM add-in, which defines a group and adds a single button to that group. I'm not sure where Word saves the preference in this case, but both the button and the entire group as defined in our COM add-in will reliably stick to the QAT.
Note that I've only tested this anecdotally, and as we still only have a pilot group of users testing our Office desktop, it's possible that we might discover other oddities in the future.
So effectively on our desktops, the group is defined twice. I'm not sure how Word decides to use the COM add-in's definition over the template's definition, but I presume this is what is happening because we can still add the group to the QAT Right-click and open the template with the ribbon definitions, add the buttons to the QAT , close the template and save the changes, and then send it out to all the users' desktops. The problem with this is that if the user doesn't want those buttons on the ribbon, they can't remove them.
The "remove" option is grayed out unless they explicitly open the template themselves with Write access. This idea is a stab in the dark, though, and I'd be skeptical if it works. Furthermore if Word records the user's preference for having a button on the QAT within the template itself, it still doesn't address the issue of how to overwrite the template with an update without overwriting the user's settings.
