I need to roll out a new corporate standard font to a large number of
users. Getting the font onto the PC is covered.

What I need to do is to make this font the default font for all new Word
documents. I can't replace everyone's normal.dot as this would lose all
of their other settings.

Any idea how I might go about this?

TIA

Don't even try! Make sure the shared document templates that you use for
your company documents have this font configured in *their* styles. Leave
normal.dot alone.

Well, that was my thought at first, and the shared letter templates etc
have been modified, but the powers that be know better of course.

Well in that case either you will have to visit every site or you will have
to instruct the users how to change the default font for themselves - and it
won't achieve anything

common, this question never seems to get answered, It's always the same don't
mess with normal.dot, ok fine I won't, but give us a solution then. Every
company must have this problem when wanting to change default font for
everyone.
When word starts for my company users I wan't it to use the font/style I
decide, they shall not have to open word then a template to get it right.
Microsoft must have a solution to this problem, it has been a problem in all
word versions haven't been fixed yet , or are Microsoft saying Word is not
for company's with lots if users, who want's to control/change the apperance
of Office, and should be looking for other programs. If I'm sounding angry,
It's just frustration for not finding a solution to this problem.
