Copy Office XML Colour Palette to new PC using script
My company has recently re-branded and I have created new PowerPoint, Excel and Word templates.
In Office I have created my colour palettes which are very useful, but these dont go across with the PowerPoint/Excel/Word files.
Ive been looking into it and it create an XML file on the machine with all the colours within that palette.
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roam
I would like an easy way for everyone else in the company to copy this XML onto their computer.
Can this be done with a batch script??
Any advice?

No Active Directory. It will be something that we can email out.
Thanks for the script idea.... Because it will be emailed out the xml needs to be in the script.
I thought something like this... But ive got no idea now to do any error checking. Check for success etc....
Will this work? Any ideas how to improve?

If you build the color theme into the template (or theme), then they'll travel with the file and you won't need to install them on everyone's computer.
