Thank you, I've missed this. Nevertheless, I've tried what the article
suggests with _no_ success. Moreover, it seems that other Office
(2003) suite applications do this too (tested with Word and Excel)
and also, every application binds to its own port.

For example... I am just running two instances of Word, one Excel
and Outlook. I have three UDP ports wide open (blocked by
firewall). Thanks God I am used to TeX and don't need Office
for serious work ;).

If this would be a message notification service, it would make sense
to open one port and only by Outlook. For what it is used
by Word I could not guess.

Well another issue for their crapy technical support.
