You can edit your Office MST files using Orca tool which is available from Microsoft.

• First, you need to install this tool in your PC.
• Once installed, right-click on the MSI file associated with the MST file and choose Edit with ORCA.
• Choose Transform >> Apply Transform and open the MST file.
• The title of window changes and shows “transformed by file_name.mst”
• Now, modify and make the necessary changes.
• Once done with editing, go to Transform >> Generate Transform and save the Transform.
• Hence, the transform file is edited and the MSI file is left untouched.

Have you heard about Custom Installation Wizard..??

Custom Installation Wizard allows you to modify or create office transforms, including reg files, files, tweak menus etc...
