I have Office 2003 running on XP SP 3.
I recently bought a new laptop and had to port my "life" from the old to the
new. I reinstalled Office and then used the export/import wizard to port most
of my settings.
I noticed that my customizing of the toolbars did not port, so I fixed this
by hand. Later, I went looking for the xlb file, and found that the wizard
had, indeed, ported the xlb file, but since I had to install Excel first,
this created a "blank" xlb; therefore, when I did the export/import the old
(read "has the customizing") xlb got renamed as xlb(1).
I guess I should have immediately after export/import deleted the new xlb
and renamed the old xlb to xlb. That, I think, would have preserved my
settings.
Can someone confirm or deny this hypothesis? I need to know because my wife
will soon be buying her own new laptop and I would like to learn from my
mistakes.
Thanks,
Glenn
