I posted this on microsoft.public.office.misc before I found this NG.
Sorry for the duplication.
A while ago I created, with a lot of trial and error, a custom label
format in Word (using "New Label" in the "Options" box of
"Tools"/"Envelopes and
Labels"). Since then I had a system problem and I had to restore
the whole C drive/partition from an earlier save (GHOST'ed). So I lost
the custom
label format.
However, I do have a GHOST copy of the partition with the custom
format on it. (I just can't boot from it.) Is there some way to
recover the label format from this other partition? The format is saved
by Word, somewhere. I thought it was in word.pip, and I tried just
copying windows\application_data\microsoft\office\word.pip from the
saved partition to the current one, but that didn't work (I could copy
it, but I didn't get the format).
I can access all the files alright - they're in the same format as they
were. GHOST just makes a separate copy of the whole partition. The
problem is that it's not a .doc /.dot that I'm trying to recover - it's
a label format.
Although I can't boot from the GHOST'ed partition, I can execute
programs that are there. But I don't know if they would use the
"environment" in that partition, or in the boot partition. And I don't
quite want to just try it. Is there a way to run Word using the saved
partition "environment", so I could see and manually copy the label
format?
Thanks,
Bob
BTW - it's Word 2000 (9.0.2720) that I'm using.
