I'd do a RSoP & check ANY GPO applying to her

Subject: [THIN] Word Option Grey'd out for users


I have an application on a XenApp 5/F1 203 server that calls MS Word 2003 for 
certain functions, but Word itself is not a published app.

When the user calls Word from within her application, it's showing the field 
codes in the document.  I know this is an option within Word and she has tried 
to turn this off, but the option is grey'd out and she can't change it.   When 
I check the server, the option is not enabled, nor is it grey'd out.  Other 
users of the application do not have this problem (the option is not enabled), 
it's only happening for this one particular user.

She also has the same version Word installed on her PC and we've confirmed that 
the option is not enabled there (I suspected at one point that it might be 
calling word from her desktop, rather than the Citrix server).

I've tried entering install mode, turning the option on, then off again and 
returning to execute mode in hopes that this setting would get replicated to 
the user, but it doesn't seem to be working.  I'm guessing that this must be a 
user option stored somewhere in the users hive of the registry, but I have no 
idea where to find it.

Any ideas???

Cheers
        Jeff
