[Composer] Microsoft Office 2008 File Preferences

Hello,

I created a .dmg for Microsoft Office 2008 in Composer using the
preinstalled software configuration.  I then created a package where I
attempted to capture the Office preferences.  Specifically, I want to use
the old .doc, .xls, .ppt file types.  

The problem is that when I run the preferences .dmg when imaging a new
machine it doesn't change the preferences.  Office still uses the newer
.docx file type.  However, when I run the .dmg in self service, it does
change the preferences.

I'm thinking the reason it doesn't work when imaging a new machine has
something to do with the Office setup assistant that runs the first time
you open one of the office apps.  Does anyone know of a way to set the
Office 2008 preferences when imaging a new machine?
