MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / May 2004Retaining customized toolbars during upgrade
How do I save customized toolbars (buttons, macro shortcuts) when upgrading to XP? I understand they are housed in a directory and all it takes is saving that directory in another location. Any thoughts? Thanks. I found the answer to another user that referenced the link: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/FilesToBackup.htm but it doesn't seem to answer the question. >-----Original Message----- >How do I save customized toolbars (buttons, macro >shortcuts) when upgrading to XP?

They aren't saved in a directory, they are saved in your Normal.dot template which is the basis for all new files. The Backup link is a tad oblique by not specifying toolbars, but clearly says all customizations are saved in Normal. http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/FilesToBackup.htm More info: http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/WhatTemplatesStore.htm http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/ExportAutocorrect.htm DM > I found the answer to another user that referenced the > link: [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >> directory in another location.

See http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step instructions on moving / sharing / copying customizations including AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, macros, etc.  SignatureCharles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
