Word 2002 globally modify "track changes" setting?

I am an administrator for a mid-large (2500 seat) organization. We
deployed OfficeXP with many "default" settings, including the option to
NOT check the Word security option "Warn before printing, saving or
sending a file that contains tracked changes or comments ".

We wish to change this setting (and check the box) for future installs
as well as for existing installations. Unfortunately, it seems to be
buried in the "Settings" registry value
(HKCU\Software\MS\Office\10.0\Word\Data).

Are there any options for changing this setting in Word 2002? We have
used our systems management tool (Tivoli) to make changes in similar
cases, but this one is in HKCU, which makes that difficult. We could
use login scripting if there was a registry key to modify, but the key
isn't explicit. We could use Active Directory, but I cannot find
reference to whether this setting can be changed through AD and our AD
is managed tightly by a group that hasn't shared information.

Any options for changing this setting?

Thanks
