office 2007 settings backup on xp

[buachille]

i'm on xp and thinking of upgrading to office 2007, but i've no intention of goinf for vista.

the only thing that is stopping me is there is no save my settings tool, which was extremely useful.

i've googled this to death, and i know about the usmt and such like.

but surely someone has by now coded a program that does exactly what the office 2003 save my settings wizard did. does anyone know of such a program. i can't find one.

The Office 2003 resource kit does exactly what you want

Use the profile wizard to save your settings

Edit2: seems MS hasn't realsed a version for 2007 yet, so I'm not sure what you can do

if you're upgrading, then all your settings should remain intact. or were you planning a fresh windows install or something?

yeah it is an unbelievable situation. they know tons of business users are staying on xp (most of us), and therefore they are preventing sales of office 2007. are they off their heads (going by the behaviour of steve balmer the answer to that is yes ).

i never ever ever again will do an upgrade install. nothing but clean installs or true image backups for me.

anyway, i fully restore my system often, and save my settings saved me lots of work in past.

Indeed; my company only rolled out Office 2003 a month or two back (long after 2007 was available).

Shockingly I'm currently in process of upgrading our workstations to Office 2003 after compatibility issues with legacy systems.
