MS Office Forum / Word / General MS Word Questions / October 2006migrating word 2003 settings to new notebook
Greetings, I've recently purchased a new notebook and would like to have the same dictionary and autotext insertion selections as I do in my desktop. I have several custom autocorrections and ink signatures for insertions that it would be easier to copy than re-create. I thought that if I copied my normal.dot file to the new pc that the settings that I have on the desktop would show up there. But, it doesn't appear to work. Both machines are running Office 2003 and Windows XP Pro. Any suggestions?? Thanks,  Signaturehoward "Action is the foundational key to all success." - Pablo Picasso Hi Howard Office has a built-in tool to copy your settings. Do Start > All Programs > Microsoft Office > Microsoft Office Tools > Microsoft Office 2003 Save My Settings Wizard. Follow the instructions on the screen to save your settings and then install them on your new machine. It works quite well. However, that might not catch everything you want to copy. For everything else, see What files do I need to back up? http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/FilesToBackup.htm Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.
