New installation of Office 2003 Pro - how to keep customization

S

sharonbw

I re-installed Office 2003 pro on a new computer (from original CD). Is there
any easy way to keep all my old customization (toolbars, etc.)?

I did copy the Outlook data and other files in the "Application Data/Office"
folder thinking that would do it. My email and SOME of the customization for
Word, Excel, etc. is there - but not all. Is there somewhere else user
changes get saved? Is there some customization that can't be transferred?

| OK. But if I knew where to find such a thing I would have used it. Is
| it on my Office CD? In each separate program on the old computer (now
| an extra harddrive in my new system)? Something I download online?
| Something I need to order from Microsoft? A Windows XP utility? (Yes,
| I know I can look for it, but can't you just tell me?)
|
| Thanks
