Nope. These options aren't avialble in ODT.

Is this something that could be handled as an MSP file with ODT?

Subject: [MDT-OSD] Setting Word Options for Default User
I need to set a couple of options in Word to be the defaults but not enforced.
Seems like the easiest way to do this would be in the default user profile. Has
anyone done this before? I have a script that would set the options for each
user. Would it be possible to mount the default user hive during OSD and run
this script to setup the options for future users? I've had a case with CSS
about this for weeks, finally I got so frustrated with them I just told them to
close the case. I wanted to simply insert a custom normal.dotm using GPP's but
they had no clue how to do that and were unable to help me troubleshoot it.
According to CSS the only way to accomplish what I am after is by running the
following as a login script. However that doesn't meet my requirements of
allowing users to change these settings.
