Office 2003 Professional settings

I am planning a complete wipe down of my PC and reinstallation of
Windows XP and Office 2003 Professional.

Is there a way to save the various personalised settings for all the
Office 2003 Professional components, i.e. from the registry or
wherever they’re recorded?

Thanks

How many settings are there? I've installed Office '03 Professional many
times, and the settings of TOOLSOPTIONS percolate across the various Office
components, so you make the changes in Word, and the common ones for Excel
happen automaticallly, but there are Excel specific settings.

You can copy your NORMAL.DOT file to the new installation, and your Word
files will have the same look and feel you come to expect. If you have your
own Fax Templates, and so on, you can copy the .DOT (template files) also to
make them available to the new installation.

Of course, you will want to copy your working files, DOC, MDB, XLS, (Word,
Access, Excel, Power Point) and so on. If you have written any programs to
input and analyze data for your database files, you will want to copy them
too.
