What files do I back up to prepare for drive format and fresh inst

I am going to format my hard drive and do a fresh install of Office. I know
how to back up my Outlook.pst, my custom.dic file and my templates including
normal. Are there other files that would have some of my settings and if so
where are they? I am particularly interested in the file that all of my
outlook settings are kept in and anything else you can think of. Thanks, Greg

If using a later version of Office/Windows, look into either the File and Settings Transfer Wizard (Windows XP) or the Office Save My Settings Wizard - found under Office Tools.
