I'm curious to see what customizations folks are using for their Office 2008
deployments.
I have the following script that runs on any machine with Office 2008
installed, at login, once per user:

#!/bin/bash

# scr_app_office2008FileFormats.bash
#
# Set Office 2008 apps to save in .doc, .xls. .ppt rather than docx, etc.

# Word
defaults write com.microsoft.Word 2008\\Default\ Save\\Default\ Format
-string Doc97

# Excel
defaults write com.microsoft.Excel 2008\\Default\ Save\\Default\ Format -int
57

# Powerpoint
defaults write com.microsoft.Powerpoint 2008\\Default\ Save\\Default\
Save\\Default\ Format -string Microsoft\ PowerPoint\ 98\ Presentation

exit 0

### end script

This avoids any file incompatibilities with Office 2004 or Windows Office
<2007 users.

What modifications are you using?  Does anyone run into the "do fonts" issue
that was present in Office 2004?  If so, how do you stop it?
