startFromScratch is removing the close (x) button of workbook

For Excel I am using the attribute startFromScratch="True" to remove the ribbon tabs, but it is also removing the close button of the workbook (see picture). Is there a way to not remove it? I know that you can use startFromScratch and separately you can show a tab you want via VBA as this website explains: http://www.msofficegurus.com/post/Customizing-the-Ribbon-startFromScratch-and-Tab-visibility.aspx

Now, is it possible to add the close button again? I belive that there may be a similar code to show it via VBA.

This is the code I use:

<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">
<ribbon startFromScratch="true">
<qat>
 <documentControls>
<control 
   idMso="FileSaveAs"
   screentip="SAVE AS..."
   supertip="Click here to save this file to another location."/>
<control 
   idMso="WindowSwitchWindowsMenuExcel"
   screentip="SWITCH EXCEL FILE"
   supertip="Click here to switch from this workbook to another open excel file."/>
<control 
   idMso="FilePrint"
   screentip="PRINT FILE"
   supertip="Click here to enable the print menu."/>
 </documentControls>
 </qat>
 </ribbon>
</customUI>

EDIT

In the version of Excel that I'm using the following xml does not hide those buttons:

<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">
  <ribbon startFromScratch="true"></ribbon>
</customUI>
