I am a network Administrator, and I found it very diffcult when I was asked
to make the default settings for all the machines in the corporate installed
with ms office XP.

They wanted the user should get a tahoma font by default whenever he starts
ms word or excel, they want th edefault format of date should be same through
out the company and that should be dd/mm/yyyy and all the files sahll be
opened from one shared location on the network and should be saved there only
and many more others.

All these settings are easy to be configured when there is 10 or 20 machines
in teh network But wht when there are 100's of machines in teh network.

So wht I thought on this is that microsoft should make a version of
microsoft Office which could be managed from one central location, Some wht
like a Client/server environment.

The server is installed on one machine in the network and rest of the
machines are installed with ms office client which are going to pick up all
the default settings and configuration from the Ms office server.

In this way it will be very easy to manage all the clients using the ms
office client version .

I hope u people like this suggestion and rate it high so that microsoft
takes it in concern while developing the next Version of microsoft Office.
