Preserving customization
My OS is Win XP Home and I use MS Office 2002.
Specifically I use Excel and have generated custom toolbars and several macros. I am faced with the likelihood of having to make a clean "original" installation of MS Office and clearly don't want to lose my customization. I know that for Word, If I save Normal.dot and reinstate it with the new installation it gives back 99% of my customization. Which file(s) do I need to save to achieve the same result for Excel always assuming this is possible. On a final point, if I were to upgrade to a later Office version, rather than reinstate my existing version, would the new one be backwards compatible to my old version customization. Sorry this is a big ask, but any guidance would be welcome. -- donwb |
