Probably a plist, but this is a good use for the FS Events (Monitor  
File System Changes) feature of Composer 7.

Launch Word
Launch Composer
New Package->Monitor File System Changes
Switch to Word
Change your preferences
Close out of preferences and quit Word
Switch to Composer
Click on "Build Package"

Yep, it's the plist (~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Word.plist)

Can either push the plist out, or use a script (running as the current  
user) to change the default prefs.

For Office 2008 it might be something like:

defaults write com.microsoft.word 2008\\Options\\Options:AutoGrammar - 
int 0
defaults write com.microsoft.word 2008\\Options\\Options:AutoSpell - 
int 0

Hope this helps,
