Word 2016:  Is there a way to preserve ALL of a user's customizations?  I know the building blocks file can be saved, but what about macros, and customized ribbons, QAT, and even status bar settings?  Is there any way to save and restore changes to any of these elements?  We've had a number of surprises where the user's O365 programs got blown off their workspace.  When they were restored, the users were angry because they lost their precious customizations.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
