Backup Excel customization
Here is a list from Dave Peterson...............
I have a short list of things to copy/update when we change pc's at work. It's not complete, but may help you. Word/Excel files: FileName Use custom.dic personal dictionary *.acl personal autocorrect list mssp2_en.exc personal exclusion dictionary normal.dot default (for new documents) template *.dot Any other templates you've made *.xlb personal toolbar book.xlt defaults for new workbooks sheet.xlt defaults for new worksheets personal.xl* personal macros *.xlt Any other templates you've made And don't forget any: Local files (If you don’t store on LAN) (Settings) Directories and other defaults (Tools|Options stuff) End Dave............................ Note: Excel also stores a lot of settings in the registry. Most at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\E xcel\Options Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Sat, 20 Sep 2008 21:38:52 +0530, "Vivek" wrote: Hi, I need info on how to backup all my Excel settings, including macros in Personal.xls and restore them as I am looking to format my system and install Windows XP and Office XP, what is need is to clone my Excel setup.
