how to copy one user-created Group from one tab to another tab in word 2013 Ribbon

Question
-
hi Friends
in Word 2013 Ribbon, i have created a customized Tab & a customized Group within it which contains some stuff.
i need this Group & all its contents be copied also to another tab (for example Home tab).
is there any workaround to copy it to another tab?
i know i can customize the ribbon, create new Group, find each desired item & add each one to group... but i don't want to do this method because is time consuming & is creating from scratch which is not desired
any solution?
thanks in advanced

Hi,
As far as I know, we can only export the entire ribbon and QAT with the build-in Export functionality in Microsoft Office, not just part of it.
However, the exported Customizations.ExportedUI file is a XML text file. We may try to modify the Customizations.ExportedUI file to achieve the goal. See:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee704589(v=office.14).aspx
Since it's a development issue to customize the Customizations.ExportedUI file and we are not experts on such issues, I'd recommend you post a question in the Word for Developers forum:

The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

It's recommended to download and install Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office programs.
