[itsteapot]

Hi I am looking for a way to set the font size in word excel and desktop theme.
Is it possible to have a logon script do this?
thanks its for a visually impaired student to enable , yellow backgrounds and large text with black mouse pointer
Thanks in advance.

each app would require a different approach?
not sure if things have moved on but from memory the word manips used to involve opening up template word document using Word.Application then amending and saving it back to the users profile?
excel is book1.xls??

Yes I think you correct, I have adm files in Active directory that allow some changes but its the Theme colour that runs throughout the users system that would be ideal.
I have tried the template approach but cannot get it to change the background of the application without it effecting the colour of the printing.
Thanks for your thoughts.

do you use something like regsnap at all? you can capture the registry before and after making manual changes to the 'theme' colors. perhaps this is configured by the registry. once you know what registry information changes you can apply these in scripts? you might have trouble getting windows to realise something has changed though, i seem to recall stuff about SendMessage to get windows to do something

Ah a reg change, good thought I will investigate this
