Posted by Victor Tong in Exchange Server, MS Office on September 20th, 2009
Currently I am checking how to modify Outlook 2007 default view by using vbs.
Following is my working vbs. You can download and test it.

VBS code example
Const ForReading = 1
Const olFolderInbox = 6
Const olColorRed = 10
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objName = olApp.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
Set objTableView = objName.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).CurrentView
objTableView.ColumnFont.Size = 10
objTableView.ColumnFont.Name = "Arial"
objTableView.RowFont.Size = 10
objTableView.RowFont.Name = "Arial"
objTableView.AutoPreviewFont.Name = "Arial"
objTableView.AutoPreviewFont.Size = 10
' Save the table view.
objTableView.Save
objTableView.Apply
Set objView = objName.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).CurrentView
For Each objRule In objView.AutoFormatRules
If Not objRule.Name = "Unread group headers" Then
'MsgBox objRule.Name
'MsgBox objRule.Font.Color
objRule.Font.Color = olColorRed
End If
objRule.Font.Size = 10
objRule.Font.Name = "Arial"
Next
objView.Save
objView.Apply
wscript.echo "Completed"

This VBScript example provides a simple text-to-speech demonstration by using SAPI and VBScript.
Very interesting 
Download this text file and rename it to SAPI_Speak.vbs.
Double click and run it. Your computer will speak out what you have entered.
* Remember to turn on your speaker.
