Office 2007 - Save my settings wizard
One of the most convenient and useful tools found in previous incarnations
of Office has been dropped? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot! I discovered this today, after installing the Office 2007 60-day trial. For the first time in about 4 years, I had to manually configure all my Office apps, including Outlook and all my email accounts. Sigh. -phil

Office 2007 - Save my settings wizard
Where have you been? Transferring those settings have been in the purview of
the operating system, not Office for years. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Phil" wrote in message ...

Office 2007 - Save my settings wizard
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...

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. -phil
