Word 2002 globally modify "track changes" setting?

[scoop_2004]

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

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

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

Any options for changing this setting?

Thanks
