In researching what settings are saved where, I found that some Word settings
are saved in normal.dot, others in the user profile, while still others are
stored in the registry. I need to include a macro used by all users as well
as have all of the settings in Tools, options set the same for all users. I
also have a customized dictionary to be used. In lieu of going through
multiple steps per pc of importing registry settings, running macros on
startup, restoring a normal.dot and possibly  running additional macros, is
there a component in Office that I can use to customize everything I need for
use for ALL my users?

Hi,

don't think so. I distribute a standard normal.dot
on login to all workstations. In the dot there is
a rather lengthy sub "SetAllOptions", called by
autoexec, autonew, autoclose, print or whatever.
Has been working alright for more than 10 years.

The other unwritten part of you questions would be,
how to prevent users from changing anything
You don't want to be changed?

Practically no way.
In theory, yes, but then Word wouldn't be Word no more.
