Synchronizing Office 2013 with UE-V 2.0
Microsoft User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) 2.0 supports the synchronization of Microsoft Office 2013 application setting using a template. The combination of UE-V 2 and App-V 5.0 SP2 support of Office 2013 Professional Plus enables the same experience on virtualized instance of Office 2013 from any UE-V-enabled device or virtualized desktop.
To activate UE-V application settings support of Office 2013, download the User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) settings templates for Microsoft Office. This resource provides Microsoft-authored UE-V settings location templates.
Microsoft Office support in UE-V
UE-V 1.0 and UE-V 2 include settings location templates for Microsoft Office 2010. These templates are distributed and registered as part of the UE-V agent installation process. These templates help synchronize users' Office experience between devices. The UE-V templates for Office 2013 provide a similar settings experience to the templates for Office 2010. Microsoft Office 2013 settings roamed by Office 365 experience aren't included in these settings. For a list of Office 365-specific settings, see Overview of user and roaming settings for Office 2013.

You can deploy UE-V settings location template with the following methods:
Registering template via PowerShell. If you use Windows PowerShell to manage computers, run the following Windows PowerShell command open as an administrator to register this settings location template:
Register-UevTemplate -Path <Path_to_Template>For more information using UE-V and Windows PowerShell, see Managing UE-V 2.1 SP1 settings location templates using Windows PowerShell and WMI.

If you use the settings template catalog path to manage templates on users' computers, copy the Office 2013 template into the folder defined in the UE-V agent. The next time the template auto update (ApplySettingsCatalog.exe) scheduled task runs, the settings location template is registered on the device.
