Hi, I am trying to make Verdana de default font for Word 2000. Is there a way to do this using Kixtart? I've found the keys in the registry for Excel and access, but not for Word 2000. Any ideas how to impleemnt it with kixtart?
Thanks

Welcome Mr. Mike..,

Things like default font in word(6, 95 or 2000) is stored in a file called 'Normal.dot' and is eihter located in the '%WinRoot%\Profiles\<USERDID>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\' dir (Win9x/WinME) or in the '..\..\Office\' dir (WinNT).
I am not sure whether this file is easy to edit (think not) but I will look in to it today.

Replace the users normal.dot file with a normal.dot file that you created, but this would replace all customization that a user may have done (this could be a good thing!).....

You might be able to make a change to a .dot file using OLE calls, but i may just be plain wrong about that, and i have no idea .....
