Office 2003 & network access...

[Ant]

Hi.

Does anyone know what features of new Office require network access
(Intranet or Internet)? I am trying to do a quick check to configure a
firewall to ensure Office 2003 (full installation) perfectly with proper
firewall's program rules. A short howto guide for a quick test would be
nice since I only know the basics of Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. Or
better does MS have information on what ports each components need?

I currently know these things:
1. Activation
2. All products with Web browser component like in Word, Excel, etc.
3. Access through network for database.
4. Infopath
5. Publisher
6. Outlook for e-mails.

I am sure there are more! Thank you in advance.

To name a few:

There are many integration points from within different parts of the product
with Office Online (http://office.microsoft.com) that give users access to
greater data resources, such as templates, clipart and more extensive
dynamic help - way too many to list.
Also, some search sources within the Research task pane use the Web.

Do you happen to know what ports need to be opened for incoming and
outgoing?
