When a user logs in to a computer the first time, admin credentials are needed when starting any MS office application. It is for selecting doc type. XML or windows type. There is also another settings while starting MS offce the first time (I dont remember right now) that requires admin creds. 

This limits the possibility to use any computer or switch to areplacement computer as an administrator needs be around.

Is it possible to set this via GP or omit the questions all together?

Hi

According to your description, you want any user to have an access to Microsoft Office when they first run the program.

Generally administrator permission is only required during installation, then any user can run application smoothly.

We have to confirm that you have done a complete installation and reasonable configuration.

Best regards

Hi

You might want to take a look at Office Customization Tool it can be used to predefine a lot of settings at installation points so you don't need to ask new users that kind of questions that they are not allowed to configure anyway. I believe the other question is something about updates for Office via Windows Update.
