Can you setup Outlook 2007 templates?

Question

We use the same template in Word 2007 for all the employees. When I setup a new user, I just take a copy from the server and paste it into his Application/Microsoft/Templates folder - replacing the standard.

When there needs to be a change, I change the template on the server and run a program that distributes the templates to all user profiles on the server - so next time they log in, the profile synchronizes and the template has been updated.

Now, we go with the same font in Outlook 2007. So I manually have to log into their end-user computer, open Outlook and then set the font - quite annoying.

Isn't there any way you can tie the font to some kind of template file in Outlook 2007?

EDIT: Or perhaps some kind of user policy?

Answer 1

The Outlook 2007 adm template dosent have any option to set the default font. But take a look here for a way to do it with a .reg file which you could then script/deploy.

I think you should look at these docs:
