Default font in new Office 2003 installation

[stevenm]

Hi everyone,

I am planning an upgrade from Office 2000 Pro to Office 2003 Pro and I have
been asked if during this process a default font can be set for all users. We
use a mixture of Windows 2000 and XP machines with roaming profiles. The
reason we are doing this is so that we all use the same font when sending out
correspondence.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Steven.

Hi Steven,

If you're talking about using MS Word then that
information is taken from the default setting for
the 'Normal' style in MS Word. That is stored
in the Normal.dot template (or other global template).
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;826839&FR=1

The Normal.dot template isn't on the installation CD
it's generated for each user the first time that Word is
closed by that user (it's not designed to be a shared copy)
but you can deploy a copy for each user if you're not
using another global template with shared styles.

Hi Bob

Thanks for getting back. Yes, it Word that I'm referring to. What is the
easiest way to deploy the normal.dot template? We have around 700 computers
and over 2000 users (we are a school in case you're wondering).

Thanks,
Steven.

Hi Steven,

You may want to consider deploying a global template rather
than Normal.dot but in either case you can deploy it as
an additional file using the Custom Installation Wizard.
