How to save your settings in Office 2007

**Vakas** · November 4th, 2007, 10:58 PM

Hi! I've noticed the 'save my office settings tool' in Office 2007 is missing.

How can I go about saving my settings as it has been very useful in the past.

Thanks

It was dropped in 2007, you have to use either the user state migration tool or the vista easy transfer wizard

How do I run the User State Migration Toon on XP I cant seen to get it running?

perhaps the file settings and transfer wizard would be easier for you here is the step by step guide

The USMT is really for large businesses, but I get the feeling you just want to transfer settings to another computer? here is more about how to use USMT

Cna you Use the Files and Settings trasfer wizard to save my office serrings?

All I want to do is save my office settings and use them on a differant computer.

According to the step by step... yes.

I'll give it a try and let you know how I get on.

Thanks

The File and sttings transfer wizrd dos nor list Office settings whwn I run it as shown in the step by step guide.

Is this because I am using Office 2007?

I have a Office Ettings file with the OPS extension from last time is it possible to use this to retreive my settings?

Probably and I don't think so....

I think you are stuck with USMT and that you need to launch the help file that comes with it.

I'll have another look, but is there a way to add office settings yourself to the ile and settings transfer wizard.

There is an "add setting button" - Have you tried?

**Vakas** · November 7th, 2007, 08:02 PM

Yes but it says there are no serrings available

Can I ask whether it would be quicker to just configure the other office installation you want to move your settings to rather than trying to automate it?
