<b><i>Practice Tip:</b></i> <b>Using the Microsoft Office Profile Wizard</b>
The Microsoft Office applications provide for a tremendous amount of flexibility in customizing them to fit your particular preferences and/or the overall needs and requirements of your work environment. Rarely, if ever, would someone use an out-of-the-box installation of a Microsoft Office product without modifying at least a few of its myriad default settings. The various adjustments you might make to custom templates, dictionaries, toolbars, AutoText and AutoCorrect lists and the like can be substantial. And to replicate those customizations on another computer, such as your home computer, could literally take you hours; and that's assuming you are able to detail in writing all the customizations you have made so that you can perform the manual transfer.
In this article, I will introduce you to the Office Profile Wizard, a simple tool provided by Microsoft as part of the Office Resource Kit, which lets you capture all of your customizations in any of the Microsoft Office applications in a matter of minutes, not hours. By allowing you the ability to both save and restore your Office settings, the Office Profile Wizard provides you with both disaster contigency (should your computer crash and you have to reinstall Microsoft Office) and with portability (so that you can transfer, for example, your custom setting from your computer at work to your computer at home).
