custom addin missing in Word template that uses macros

I have many templates created in Word that utilize Macros in VBA code.  It is a quesitonnaire that when you check the boxes, a special Add-in toolbar has a button that will calculate the scores, based on the checkboxes chosen.   It has many, many lines of codes.  We have different templates for different customers.  In the last 6 months, more and more of our team can no longer view the special add-in toolbar. We have done many things, enabled macros, checked security settings, looked to see if addin disabled, unblocked, etc. etc.   Spent hours trying to resolve.  Some have no problems, others do.  I need to find support to assist.  These templates are the foundation of our business.  I know it's some form of security setting(s).  We email the templates to our team members to use.

    How are the templates distributed in your organization, exactly? 

     

    Templates that should be available to all documents in a Word installation would have to be in Word's Startup folder (for each user).
