Moving to A NEW cOMPUTER
I've long used a customized Personal.XLS worksheet which contains a number
of personalized macros, buttons, toolbars, etc.. I installed Office 2003 on my replacement computer. I assumed I'd simply copy the Personal.XLS file from its position in C:\Docs & Settings\Username\App Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLStart over to the corresponding position on the new computer. But I still end up with the canned opening worksheet as before the change. What else should I be doing? -- PT |

Move the file Book.xlt in the Excel start directory (where Personal.xls is
as well). -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "PT" wrote in message ...
