Microsoft Office 2007 - Get more options for Office Customization Tool

[SoultakerPT]

Has some of you may know, the deployment of Office 2007 can be simplified with a tool called Office Customization Tool (OCT) and a Config.xml file.

Some time ago I've attended a Premier Workshop called “Deploying and Managing Microsoft Office 2007 in the Enterprise” where I got a good informatin about OCT that I haven’t realized.

This tool was updated in November of 2007 .

I always used the default tool version (that can be accessed through setup.exe /admin command-line).

This new version has some new option, and one of them it’s really handy, and it about don’t showing the annoying first-run dialog box everytime you open an Office application.

This new version it’s an upgrade for the existing one, and it’s applied like *.adm files for example. In this case, *.opa files.

Just copy the downloaded file to the correct directory and the next time you open OCT, the new options will be available

Please make notice that after upgrading OCT you need to recreate your *.msp files.
