Why no "Organizer" as in Word
Is there a reason why Excel does not have the "Organizer" function that Word
has? Organizer allows you to transfer either macros or toolbars from one machine to another very easily. It isn't quite that simple with Excel. Thanks. |

Why no "Organizer" as in Word
The reason is probably that XL and Word have very different
architectures. Word stores toolbars in a template (by default, Normal.dot). That's usually not the case in XL, where toolbars are stored and accessible system-wide in an .xlb file. The Organizer wouldn't help with that. All you need to do to transfer a toolbar is to attach it to a workbook (Tools/Customize) and open the workbook on the other machine. Macros can be exported and imported, but unlike Word, where macros are usually stored in the attached template, XL's templates aren't attached to generated documents - if the macro exists in the .xlt file, it will exist in the .xls file, so no transfer is needed.
