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

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

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

Any options for changing this setting?
