Lock down Word & PowerPoint features

Does anyone know of a way to lock down (remove/hide/disable) Word & PowerPoint in Office 2007?

Simply put I want to disable the user from using some functionality in them (mostly formatting). Some ideas of ways to do it, which I just can’t seem to find solutions based on:

• Word has a protect document option which locks some features away, but I need more and also for PowerPoint – i.e. this is on a document level.
• Some sort of UI automation which disables buttons – i.e. an application which disables them remotely. I am happy with the fact that if the UI automation is not running they get past it.
• Group policy or registry settings
• Rights Management Server (not sure even if that's right - just popped into my head)

• The solution found was to create a standard VSTO add-in, add a ribbon (XML) to it and then using the commands node to disable buttons. For a list of the idMso's see this download.
