Regarding the easy transfer wizard:

Regarding the other thing: I always get the name wrong. It's actually
called User State Migration Tool:

Actually, I don't know.
It is the purview of the OS now, so there are two Vista tools: Vista
Easy
Transfer:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvist...ytransfer.mspx
And the Vista Upgrade my Settings wizard.
If you can use them with an existing settings files, I don't know. If
you
can use them with just on XP, I don't know...
How you use them with just Office and not the rest of the Windows
settings, I don't know...

Where have you been? Transferring those settings have been in the
purview of
the operating system, not Office for years.
LOL.
Only in the heads of the people working at Microsoft

Indeed! Where I have been is in configuration-free bliss, thanks to
the
Office 2003 "Save My Settings Wizard".

So, Patrick, assuming one has their "Office 2003 Settings File.OPS"
and a
fresh new install of Office 2007, how does one transfer the settings?
If
I
have been lost all this time, please do guide me, my MSFT sherpa.

Sardonically yours,
phil



I did attempt to use the Vista Easy Transfer application, but it seems to
absolutely insist on the transfer being from one machine to another. So,
I
wasn't even able to learn whether or not it can work with a Office 2003
settings file (Office 2003 Settings File.OPS).

This "Vista Upgrade my Settings wizard" you mentioned, is this something
that's used when doing an upgrade install of Vista? If so, that's not
going
to help plebes like me who have done a clean install, and just need to
migrate their Office from 2003 to 2007, using the Office 2003 settings
file.
If, as you say, this is the purview of the OS, the OS has utterly failed
in
its purview... at least as far as moving from Office 2003 to 2007 is
concerned.

I do appreciate your suggestions, though.

Thanks.

Thanks Patrick, but it doesn't appear that one can use either tool to simply
import saved settings from Office 2003 into Office 2007.
