Back up and transfer your Microsoft Office settings via the Web

摘要

Because your desktop computer customization evolves over time, you usually don't realize just how much you alter your Office application settings to meet your individual tastes and needs. But when you sit down at a new computer, it's suddenly apparent how uncomfortable it can be to use applications with the default settings (or someone else's customized settings) in place. And, once you update the settings on a new machine to match your old settings, you see firsthand how potentially huge undertakings such as this happen much more painlessly over a long period of time. Fortunately, if you want to match the settings on your office computer settings with a new computer (such as a home computer), you can use the Save My Settings Wizard to easily share custom settings over the Web, regardless of the physical locations of the computers in question (as long as they're both connected to the Internet). Additionally, you can use this wizard to create a backup of your settings online, since you never know when a hard drive crash or PC upgrade will force you to reinstall Office and lose your preferences.
