I can answer that part! You install Access \ office as an administrative
install on a network drive, then you can set up various trasnforms to
install only what you want.

The only issue I have run into with doing office though is that it does not
always advertise to all users, depending on how you get it out. If you
assign it, so it automatically installs through activedirectory it is not an
issue. If you publish it so the end user can install it at will, then it
often only installs for one user instead of advertising to every user on the
machine. This causes each user to have to go through the install process to
get their icons and the program (s). Luckily the second and subsequent
installs only run the mini install. This usually happesn when the first
installer is a administrator.
