Alevtina,

I am on the Excel Services team and have discussed this with our Visual Studio for Office Developement team.

From what I understand you can add additional buttons, but you cannot remove them and Microsoft has its reasons for this.

If you need a more in depth answer, you can open a case with Microsoft and work directly with our Visual Studio for Office Developement team to get a definitive answer.
