Office - Office XP -> Office 2007
Asked By Sitara Lal

I need to help someone transfer her Office XP (2002) settings (from a PC
running Win2000 Professional) to a new PC running Win XP with Office 2007
installed.
I used the Wizard in Office XP (old PC) to create a .OPS settings file. What
is the best way to import this settings file into Office 2007?
Alternatively, is there a better way to do this?
Thanks

Unfortunately Office 2007 has NO settings import function.....whether the XP
Files and Settings Transfer Wizard will do anything, I do not know....

If this were going from XP to Vista, you could use the Windows Easy Transfer
(WET) wizard (used in Advanced mode to narrowly target what gets
transferred) to accomplish the transfer of some aspects (such as
accounts/files used by Outlook, and custom templates used by other Office
programs). Application-specific settings contained in the registry very
likely would not transfer, however, because the registry branches used by
Office 12 (Office 2007) are different from those used by Office 10 (Office
XP).
The larger question in this case is whether the WET wizard:
a) is available in the absense of Vista in the equation (the XP version is
available in the link provided below... so I'm guessing that the answer to
this question might be at least half "yes"), and
b) would work in a Windows 2000 to Windows XP transfer. The Help file in
Vista suggests that you can copy settings from Windows 2000 (but not to
Windows 2000). Beyond that, it's a bit fuzzy (to me at least).
If you're desperate, take a look here:

Advice: if trying this, I would create a new user login for Windows XP and
target the transfer to that user to experiment to see if it works. Better to
discover experimentally that it mungs user settings than to screw up a
working user profile.
