Project Standard 2002 does not install WSS - it installs STS 1.0.

I am not aware that there is an Edit in Project possibility in STS 1.0. But
I would suggest that the Project Server newsgroup would be a better place
for this question because for normal Office programs the Office XP she is
running would be enough for Edit in Word etc. *provided* she had specified
Sharepoint (in the shared features section) when running the Office setup.
(Setting this is default in Office 2003)
