PowerShell script to change font of office apps

ashisharya 

Hi Ashish,

are you able to clarify are you wanting to just change the default settings for new documents? or are you wanting to retro-fix existing documents as well?

If it's just changing the default settings for word/outlook then the easiest method is to update the Normal.dotx / NormalEmail.dotm file on a device and replace the versions on the rest of the devices with the updated ones...

quick steps for creation

1 - update Normal.dotx / NormalEmail.dotm and save to a folder

2 - create a PowerShell script to copy the above files to the correct location - you will want to include something in the script to write a file or a reg key that you can use in the detection rules in MEM

copy-item -path .\Normal.dotx -destination $env:Appdata\Microsoft\Templates -force
copy-item -path .\NormalEmail.dotm -destination $env:Appdata\Microsoft\Templates -force

3 - using the Microsoft Win32 Content Prep tool make an .intunewin containing the script and the new files

4 - upload to MEM as Win32 application and configure detection rules etc

5 - link Win32 Application to a device and test

if you are wanting to reto-fix existing documents then that becomes a bit more complex... I was trying to find the example for this that explained the process of doing this (came out around the same time they introduced the new file format). but basically the new office format documents are really just zip files containing XML files. styles.xml contains the document styles so this xml file could be pulled out of a document manually updated then write a PS script to loop through a document share etc, and open the file as an archive and inject this updated xml file.

hope that helps
