Importing and Exporting Preferences

[scribbler]

This seems like a simple enough concern, yet I haven't figured out how
to do this.

I'm a writer and I work between three computers. I have a very
customized Word setup with precise toolbars, macros, etc.

How can I export toolbar settings to Word in another computer? It
takes a great deal of time to recustomize Word on a new computer. I
imagine I can find macros and simply copy them into the right
directories. What file(s) do I copy to get toolbar settings?

Many thanks.

Hi Scribbler,

In short, customize your settings on one computer, copy that computer's
Normal.dot and put it on the other computers. If you're using templates,
bring those over, too.

HTH,
Dave

See http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step
instructions on moving / sharing / copying customizations including
Toolbars, AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, macros, etc.
