[Composer] Microsoft Office 2008 File Preferences

[Ted August]

Some insight on this might be here:

http://www.microsoft.com/mac/itpros/default.mspx

Most of the pre-installed diff files in Composer do not include the  
User Directory files.  You may need to do a snapshot rather than a pre- 
installed package.  When you do the snapshot, I know Composer will ask  
you if you wish to capture the User Directory files for deployment.
