Installed XP Pro then Office XP. Set up other users and
did not see the option to select Power User in the User
Account screen, only Administrator and User visible. Any
ideas why?

If I try to run an Office program as another user apart
from the administrator the Office installation starts and
attempts to run the setup program but can't find the
required files. If I cancel this the program works ok.
Any clues?

When accessing the internet from another user account
(apart the administrator) I sometimes get connected but
don't get any pages opened. Any clues?

Office XP is 'user aware' and does not need a setup run by the non-admin. Any
new profile logon should see the configuration run automatically. (If this
errors, there may be some registry permission out) Office XP has a service pack
available.

Power User is a classification for users on a domain. If you try to use
utilities for domain policy on a workgroup computer (i.e 'control
userpasswords2') you will only shoot yourself in the foot. (the user disappears
from the welcome screen; expected behavior for a domain member)
