Morning, I'm hoping someone can tell me how I can script or use GPO to change
the font for all the staff in my company. The basic idea is that for Office
2003 products we set the default font name, size and color (name is the most
inportant) to be the same across the board, we currently do this on each PC
individually but I want to do it centrally (in a start up script) for
everyone to make sure we are consitant, we are getting to big to do it on
individual PC's.

I figured it would be easy but 2 hours searching the net and the registry
for the how to set the default font has turned up nothing.

Please help

The correct way to do this is to provide document templates, configured as
required, for the types of documents that your staff use via a shared
workgroup folder. http://www.gmayor.com/Template_Locations.htm and instruct
staff on how to use them.
Do not mess with user's normal.dot files - You cannot share the Normal.dot
file among multiple users in Word http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811468
