How can I move my word styles from Office 2000 to Office 2003 on .

[Northof60]

I have an old computer with Office 2000 running XPHome. I now have a new
computer with Office 2003 and XPPro. I moved everything with the XP file and
transfer wizard, but don't have my Word styles on the new computer. Is there
some way to manually move the styles to the new computer?

The styles are stored in one or more templates -- at the least,
Normal.dot. Copy the templates from your old computer and place them
on the new one. In each case, look at the Tools > Options > File
Locations dialog in Word to see where the User Templates folder is --
they may or may not be the same path.
