In theory, yes. The RibbonX part of it, you'd have to do with getVisible
and getEnabled callbacks (you need both. Invisible elements can still be
added to the QAT and hence you need to disable all of your controls
individually). You'd probably have to use the Win32 API to get notified
when the handle for the active window changes and then figure out if
that's a Word window. If that is, then you can figure out what is
displayed in it.
However, you have to keep in mind that a user could have two Word
windows open next to each other, and that both would display the Ribbon
identically. So if once contains a template and one doesn't and the
template one is active, then the user will see both windows with the
template stuff showing. If the user clicks the other window, both
windows change. In my opinion, you are going to drive your users nuts
with this. I wouldn't do it.
Can you elaborate on your scenario as to why you want to do this? Maybe
there is a better way to handle this.

I'm not using a template, the user can create templates - I should be able
to do this using events shouldn't I and seeing when the user changes the
active document.
So I guess my question is how do I see when the user changes whcih the
active document is.

Add the RibbonX to the template?

I have an addin for Word that modifies the Ribbon if the document opened
is
a template.
How do I make it document context sensitive ?
What I mean by this is
1) User open Word and starts creating a normal document (Ribbon should be
standard)
2) Users opens a template (Ribbon should show my changes)
3) User switches back to original document (Ribbon should be standard)
4) etc
Any ideas please ?
