Here is the starting place for building a custom ribbon that can easily be transferred to multiple computers: Customize the Office Ribbon (It doesn't take rocket science) by Greg Maxey and Ribbon X download (archive)
Thanks Chas, this is exactly what I am trying to achieve, although my VBA experience is insufficient to comprehend most of what you are suggesting in your various post replies.

I have used the Ribbon X to create the code for the buttons as per my original zip file on post #1. I had also come across Greg Maxey's page on the topic. I've also used Graham Mayor's excellent content control toolkit addin to ensure easy and accurate CC.

I think that I am going to have to surrender at this point.
