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 --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ |
