I have search everywhere for this answer. I can't believe I am the only one
wanting to backup my personal settings. I run 2007 Word on 2 computers. All
I am trying to do is make both programs the same. Does any one know how to
do this??

Word 2007 stores its information in a range of places, but the essential
ones are

1. The contents of the user templates folder - unless you have changed the
location, this folder can be found by entering
%appdata%\Microsoft\Templates
in the address bar of Windows or Internet Explorer
2. The contents of the Word startup folder - unless you have changed the
location, this folder can be found by entering
%appdata%\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP
in the address bar of Windows or Internet Explorer
3. Building Blocks.dotx file - this file is in a folder which can be found
by entering
%appdata%\Microsoft\Document Building Blocks
in the address bar of Windows or Internet Explorer. In this case the
required Building Blocks.dotx file will be in a sub folder which is a four
digit number that is your country code.
4. The User Dictionary - by default the user dictionary will be in the
folder that can be found by entering
%appdata%\Microsoft\UProof
in the address bar of Windows or Internet Explorer. However Word 2007 can
use more than one user dictionary. Check whether you have any more installed
from Word Options > Proofing > Custom Dictionaries and note which folder(s)
they are contained in.
5. There are several pertinent settings in the registry that you may wish to
back-up - in particular the Word data key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Data
but also
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Options
6. If you have custom labels defined, see the relevant note at
http://www.gmayor.com/custom_labels.htm

Transfer these files and registry entries to the same locations on the
second PC.
