Microsoft Office Configuration Tips

Profile changes

I recommend making changes to the default profile for MS Office.  The process is simple: clean install of Windows, then the Office Resource Kit (Profile Wizard is all you really need) and Office only, then make the changes, then run the Profile Wizard to 'capture' those changes to an .OPS file, which can be incorporated into the transform (MST) used to install office (created with the Cusotm Installation Wizard).

See the Microsoft Office default user profile page for a guide to recommended changes.
