View Full Version : Office 2000

This seems like a good place to post this. If it needs to be moved, be my guest. Just wanted to comment on an add-on for Office2000. The "save my settings" wizard that can be downloaded from Office Updates works great. I just formatted my win2k partition and updated my "save my settings" prior to the format. Once I re-installed win2k and Office2000, I just installed the wiazard again and retrieved my settings. Looks like every single Office program was set to exactly how I had it before I formatted. That includes toolbars that took me a while to get exactly how I like them and the Office toolbar returned with all my added shortcuts (I did have to re-install the programs they pointed to though). Only small bit of trouble I had was before I formated, Win2k was on partition "E:" and after the fresh install, it ended up on "D:". After I ran the "save my settings wizard" I had one error pop up when openeing Outlook2000 that referred to the "E" drive. I ran a detect and repair and that solved fixed the error. So if you use Office2000, you might want to try the "save my settings" install.

Thanks for the tip, Pure Luck. I believe this would be more appropriate in applications (software). Nice to know that someone is enjoying Office 2000, I tried it and found it too much of a memory hog with my P233, 64 megs ram. Still using Office 97.
