RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, visit the Office 2003 Policy Template Files and Deployment Planning Tools Web page for more information about the changes that were made to the Office 2003 policy templates:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ork2003/HA011513711033.aspx (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ork2003/HA011513711033.aspx)

Then, download the updated Office 2003 Policy Template Files and Deployment Planning Tools file from the following Office 2003 Resource Kit Downloads Web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/office/orkarchive/2003ddl.htm (http://www.microsoft.com/office/orkarchive/2003ddl.htm)

This issue can be resolved by reediting the information from the ORK by changing the ADM and OPA files manually. You cannot resolve the problem by using the 32-bit offset. The required change is to open the ADM and OPA files and replace VALUENAME fWarnRevisions_1773_1 with VALUENAME fWarnRevisions_1805_1. The finished listing should resemble the following:

CATEGORY "Security" 
KEYNAME Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Options\vpref 
POLICY "Warn before printing, saving or sending a file that contains tracked changes or comments" 
	PART "Check to enforce setting on; uncheck to enforce setting off" CHECKBOX 
	VALUENAME fWarnRevisions_1805_1 
	VALUEON NUMERIC 1 
	VALUEOFF NUMERIC 0 
	END PART 
	END POLICY
