Default problem in opening office files

The two files share some registry entries and will reconfigure when run.
Essentially you change the registry entries to stop the reconfiguration
after running the Office 2003 versions - see
http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm for more detail. You may
still have to edit the file associations in Windows Explorer to ensure that
the Office 11 path rather than Office 12 path is present for each relevant
file type.
