Overview
This knowledge base will demonstrate how to set the default font back to 'Segoe UI' with size 10 font for Microsoft Word and PowerPoint
Steps for Microsoft Word and PowerPoint
1. By default, all of the templates for Microsoft Word and PowerPoint exist in this path: %appdata%\Microsoft\Templates
2. Open the following files:
- Normal.dotm
- NormalEmail.dotm
- Default Theme.potm
For Word, set the font size to Segoe UI font size 10 for both Normal.dotm and NormalEmail.dotm.
For PowerPoint, set the font to Sogoe UI and save as Blank.potx.
3. Prepare delete and copy script. For this I am using a batch file, save as Install.cmd
- It will delete the existing Normal.dotm in %AppData%\Microsoft\Templates
- It will delete the existing NormalEmail.dotm in %AppData%\Microsoft\Templates
- It will delete the existing Default Theme.dotm in %AppData%\Microsoft\Templates
- It will then copy Normal.dotm, NormalEmail.dotm and Blank.potx into %AppData%\Microsoft\Templates
cmd /c del /q %AppData%\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dotm
cmd /c del /q %AppData%\Microsoft\Templates\NormalEmail.dotm
cmd /c del /q %AppData%\Microsoft\Templates\"Default Theme.potm"
cmd /c xcopy Normal.dotm %AppData%\Microsoft\Templates\ /y
cmd /c xcopy NormalEmail.dotm %AppData%\Microsoft\Templates\ /y
cmd /c xcopy Blank.potx %AppData%\Microsoft\Templates\ /y
5. Prepare the Install.ps1 script, this will trigger in Install.cmd from step 4 to run.
#region Config
$AppName = "Word and PowerPoint Segoe UI Size 10"
$client = "Author"
$logPath = "$env:ProgramData\$client\logs"
$logFile = "$logPath\$appName.log"
$cmdcommands = ".\Install.cmd"
#endregion
#region Logging
if (!(Test-Path -Path $logPath)) {
New-Item -Path $logPath -ItemType Directory -Force | Out-Null
}
Start-Transcript -Path $logFile -Force
Start-Process -FilePath "cmd.exe" -ArgumentList "/c `"$cmdcommands`"" -nonewwindow -Wait
Write-Host "Script completed successfully.."
Stop-Transcript
Exit
6. With Detect.ps1, you can use the log file as a detection method.
if (test-path "C:\ProgramData\Author\logs\Word and PowerPoint Segoe UI Size 10.log"){"Installed"}
