[OPLINTECH] MS Office 7 issues

[Jim Kenzig]

Hi Lynn,
Hopefully you have a Group Policy Server in place. You can get the policy
templates for Office 2007 here.

Once you have the templates installed it is just a matter of appling it to
the group you have the computers in and setting the settings for each app
to the desktop per:
