PowerShell script to change font of office apps
Hi, We are using Microsoft 365 for Enterprise for delivery office apps to users via Microsoft Intune. Currently the default font for all office apps is Calibri and now users want that it should ...
Hi Steve, this is exactly what I am looking for to be able to change Outlook's default font on all of our organisations devices. Would you be able to provide more details of the PS script so I can replicate this on our machines? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jason
Jason275: Jason I have been able to achieve this by replacing my custom Normal.dotm file (stored at the Azure blob) with the default Normal.dotm file located at %appdata%\Microsoft\Templates (the default location of word and Outlook templates).
Below are the steps that I took for changing fonts for Word and same can be tried for Outlook as well.
1. I pushed out a PS script (Schdtask) from Intune to create a scheduled task on all Intune devices.
2. This task will run another PS script(LogonScript) stored at the same Azure blob whenever there is a user login.
2. This LogonScript will first remove the default Normal.dotm file.
3. Then it will then connect to the same Azure blob and get our custom Normal.dotm file and place it under the same default template location.
I am sure this is not the best solution to go with but this can be tried if you have no other choice.
I will also be keen to get any other solution for this.

Ashish Arya
- Another option would be to copy to the default profile which is copied each time a new user logs on - which would negate the need for the scheduled task...
Pulling from Azure Blob is a good idea - just make sure that you include the detection so it only downloads the file from Blob if it is changedI must admit Ashish_Arya I'm not really sure how to achieve this through your suggestion as I'm quite new to this.
SteveMacNZI like the sound of your option but not sure where to find the default profile in the registry, I can only see the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\MailSettings. Any further help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jason- This is my script, it works when I run it locally but won't deploy when I roll it out through Intune:
