Office 2007 - Deployment Concerns

[Brian]

My company is licensed for Office 2007 Professional Plus. With each version
of windows we only install Access, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word. Any
additional applications are seperate installs that are available by request.

Here are some of the concern that i am looking for advice and/or best
practices.

#1
When installing InfoPath or Publisher, would it be best to configure the
application under Features\Modify Users Settings of the .msp that is used to
initially install Office 2007 or create a seperate .msp that contains the
modifications?

#2
As a followup to #1, When i create a seperate .msp for the applications, the
MUI pack (English) install properly. However, during the installation the
dialogues are a series of boxes as if the font is missing. What causes this
behavior?

If possible, i would like to eliminate the number of locations i need to
change.

#3
Against my recommendation, we have deployed Project 2007 on several of our
machines before Office 2007. The Office Customization Tool (OCT) has a
section under Features\Modify Users Settings for Project 2007. When I install
Office on these machines will I overwrite any settings made by the Project
2003 installation?
