Enterprise. The computer itself was my home computer (since we'd all 
been working at home for >1 year and only just starting to come back).

I was actually a little surprised I had a 32-bit version, since I didn't 
recall being offered a choice when I initially installed it in March/Apr 
2020 and therefore assumed I'd been served 64-bit. Maybe it defaults to 
32 if you don't explicitly choose and it was my error in not clicking 
through to the place where you can (as I now know that you can do, 
although once you get there the default is 64).

I'm not sure how/if I can look into my own group policy situation for 
Office.

I guess when you said "could cause problems with 32 bit Office" I 
assumed that meant MarcEdit behaving oddly, not that it would break 
Office itself. If nothing else, perhaps a warning message during the 
install if the user clicks the checkbox for the OCLC plugin, that "if 
you have 32-bit Access/Office, installing this may cause it to fail to 
launch, proceed at your own risk"?
