Defaults for all profiles

[mufka]

Is it possible, with Office 2007, to set default settings for all profiles that get created on the workstation? Things like toolbars, compatibility, etc. I'd like to set these all to the same base settings and then let the users change them as they wish.

The 'proper' way to do this is with Policies. Beyond that, it depends on how other thigs are set up. If you are using roaming profiles, most Office settings are part of the roaming profile and do not live on any client machine. If not, and you are creating new users, then create the default user the way you want them to be and it should be used as, well, default. If you already have users set up and you just want office settings to default on them, I don't think you can do it easily.

Enjoy,
Tony

Policies and roaming profiles are coming down the road, but first I must get everyone up to Windows XP. How does one "create the default user".
