Default Fonts

[Harry Hornet]

Word 2007 appears to default to Calibri and double spaced. I understand how
to change it for myself, but I would like to know how to change it at
installation time, or for all users, so that everyone will get the corporate
font as default.
Is it possible??

Harry,

How are you deploying Office to your users?

We generally use RIS .

I believe you'd want to create and deploy a custom normal.dotm (the default
template Word uses). I don't know anything about RIS, so I'll point you to
articles that tell you how to deploy Office with customizations.

The Office Customization Tool lets you create a file that determines how
setup behaves, including the ability to copy additional files in at
installation time. This article tells you a lot about what you can control
during deployment:

Hopefully that helps--there may be better approaches, but this might do it
for you.
