PowerShell script to change font of office apps

Hi Aaron - you might find it easier to follow my original solution where you edit the existing Normal.dotm and NormalEmail.dotm files and make your changes and save the updated files to a new location. the Templates are located under %Appdata%\Microsoft\Templates and you right click on the .dotm file and select "open" not the default "new" - new will create a copy of the template as a new document - where open opens the actual template.

then the script to actually copy the files is simple compared to setting via registry 

(there was a typo in the original where i used Normal.dotx - which i have corrected below and expanded out with creating a detection file)

# Variables
$Script:dest = "$($env:ProgramData)\MEM\OfficeTemplates"
$Script:GUID = 'GUID using New-Guid'

# Test and create paths and detection .tag file for MEM detection
if (-not (Test-Path $Script:dest)){
    New-Item -Path $Script:dest -ItemType Directory 
}
if (-not (Test-Path "$Script:dest\OffTemp.tag")){
    Set-Content -Path "$Script:dest\OffTemp.tag" -Value "$Script:GUID" 
}

# Copy the Templates to the local device
copy-item -path .\Normal.dotm -destination $env:Appdata\Microsoft\Templates -force
copy-item -path .\NormalEmail.dotm -destination $env:Appdata\Microsoft\Templates -force

 I also write a transcription log to the destination folder as well so you can see what is going on (these just a subset of the script logic I use.  Feel free to grab a copy of the PowerShell template from my GitHub if you like https://github.com/SteveMacNZ/PowerShell_Templates/tree/main/Templates
