I tried that and it doesn't work. :-( Seems like Word creates one and overwrites the one the GPP puts there.

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.
