My OS is Win XP Home and I use MS Office 2002.
Specifically I use Outlook and have generated my own custom toolbars and
several macros.
I am faced with the likelihood of having to make a clean "original"
installation of MS Office and clearly don't want to lose my customization.
I know that for Word, If I save Normal.dot and reinstate it with the new
installation it gives back 99% of my customization.
Which file(s) do I need to save to achieve the same result for Outlook
assuming this is possible.
On a final point, if I were to upgrade to a later Office version, rather
than reinstate my existing version, would the new one be backwards compatible
to my old version customization.
Sorry this is a big ask, but any guidance would be welcome.
