Generally, the Office settings for current user are mostly saved in Registry key settings. For the feature you mentioned above, some of them are not able to control in Office level at once. We can just configure the setting for specific products one by one.
For example, about Show mini toolbar on selection and Enable live preview, we can create the setting registry under specific product instead of the whole Office level to control it:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Toolbars\Word
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Toolbars\Excel
Value: allowselectionfloaties set 0 to disable it, 1 to enable it.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Word\Options
Value: livepreview set 0 to disable it, 1 to enable it.
About the default Font settings in Word and Outlook, we also need to configure it for specific products. We can do the following settings about the default Font for different Office applications:
Word 2016:
- Open Word and start with a clean new document.
- Hit CTRL-D to start the Font settings.
- Set your Font of choice and hit “Set as Default”
- “Save as” the document to Normal.dotm
- Copy this Normal.dotm file to “%appdata%\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dotm" and replace the old one.
Outlook 2016:
- Set the font in Outlook on a clean machine by going to Options -> Stationary and fonts… in Outlook. Close Outlook.
- On this Machine, go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\MailSettings".
- Export by right click on the MailSettings folder.
- Then you can push/import this MailSettings registry value to your wanted computer.
You can set the MailSettings above to the path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\MailSettings
The main registry values are:
Value name: “ComposeFontComplex”
Value name: “ComposeFontSimple”
Value name: “CReplyFontComplex”
Value name: “ReplyFontSimple”
Value name: “TextFontComplex”
Value name: “TextFontSimple”
About Office Theme and AutoCorrect settings, we can use registry settings to set it at once:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\policies\microsoft\office\15.0\common
Value: default ui theme 0 for White, 1 for Light Grey, 2 for Dark Grey.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\AutoCorrect
For Ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar, it also needs to configured for specific apps.
