Hi Paige,

You thought this was going to be easy, didn't you?<g Toolbar and Menu customizations are stored in your xxxxxx.XLB file where xxxxxx is version-dependent name. Excel 97.....username.xlb Excel 2000...Excel9.xlb Excel 2002...Excel10.xlb Excel 2003...Excel11.xlb Note: there may be other customizations you want to transfer at the same time. Before reading further....... If upgrading Office version, transferring your *.xlb file from an earlier version to a later one will reduce the functionality of new version menu items, although most of them can be dragged onto the old menu. Read on......... NOTE: some settings are workbook-specific and would be stored with the workbook. For other global stored settings.......... Screen layout, color info, checked Add-ins and many ToolsOptions settings are stored in the Registry, not in the *.XLB file. To see some of what's stored in the Registry have a peek at this section in it, if you feel comfortable. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\XX.0\E xcel\Options XX is your version of Excel...8,9,10,11 Assuming you are aware of the precautions taken when editing the Registry and know how to restore a recent backup of same....... If not, maybe have a look here first...scroll down to "Registry editing tips" http://www.activewin.com/tips/reg/index.shtml Export all these keys(as a branch group) to a .REG file so's you can back them up. Note also: you may want to move over your *.ACL(autocorrect files) and any *.DIC files.
