I'm a stake clerk, and the SP recently asked a question from the top of page 3 on the Officers Sustained-Ward form. It says "For your information, the following have been sustained or will be presented for a sustaining vote in the group, quorum, or class.* The footnote says all should be sustained in their resp group, quorum or class on conference Sunday. Is there a section of either Handbook 1 or 2 that makes reference to this sustaining in the classes on conference Sunday, even though sustaining has been done previously?
Thank you,

Handbook 2:18.2.5 discusses the use of the form at ward conference. The instructions on page 3 of the form say that the leaders of the high priests, elders quorum, and Young Women classes are sustained in their classes on ward conference Sunday.

So, if sacrament meeting is first, we say "will be presented", and if sacrament meeting is last, we say "have been sustained". Remember that for these names, they are not actually being sustained in sacrament meeting. The person doing the sustaining in sacrament meeting is just letting the ward know that these other leaders either have been or will be sustained in their quorums, groups, or classes.

I believe you can find it in LCR. If not there, then in MLS.

At Leader and Clerk Resources, select Reports and in the drop down menu select Officers Sustained.

I was surprised to see that now when the form is moved from MLS to LCR it has changed. The presidencies of the Aaronic priesthood quorums are no more sustained by the whole ward, but are moved to the part where the people sustained in their own quorums and classes are listed.

That change was made by direction from the First Presidency.

We would like to add a Word executive secretary assistant that will print out on the final form to be read. How is this done?

There is no way to do this. This form has been reviewed and approved by the First Presidency. My recommendation is to not make any changes to it.

And the current form at the link your provided does have a provision for an assistant executive secretary, two in fact. This is the way it is currently, it could change again in the future. Of course, make sure any assistant executive secretary callings are entered as standard, not custom, callings for the sustaining form to auto-fill.
