Set Office Colour Theme and font company wide

Hi,

We would like to implement an Office colour theme and font default to all our users.

In Word -> Design -> Colours and Fonts you can set the theme and font to what the company wants. Next you can save the theme. The XML is then located here: C:\Users<User Name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Document Themes......

We could use Intune to copy the files to the location. But this doesnt set the theme active/default. It only makes it available from out Office to choose.

Is there any way to make it default? The user should be able to change the theme, but when Word or any other Office application is opened again the company default should be active again.

Perhaps i could use the normal.dot for this to succeed? Both the colour theme and font are part of the normal.dot it seems. I would create an Intune package that places the Normal.dot somewhere on the hard disk, and next create a scheduled task that places the normal.dot in the right folder after system boot? People will be able to change that normal.dot, but that will only maintain untill system reboot.

Please note that this is not about Office templates that you can share from SharePoint Online for example. My question is how to only set the colour theme and font in Word/Excel/Powerpoint in the default Office template.

thanks!
