Office security settings
Customize the security settings for Office applications.
Important:
Security settings specified in a Setup customization (.msp) file provide only initial default settings on users' computers. Users can change the settings after installation. To help lock down and enforce security settings, you must use Group Policy. For more information, refer to the recommendations in the 2007 Microsoft Office Security Compliance Management Toolkit (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=158689).
The following table lists the available options.
