Copying Settings from Outlook 2003 to 2007
Which files can be used as they are or at least imported? I have many
settings on 2003 that I'd like to replicate on 2007 (different computers, not an upgrade) & I'd like to know which ones I can just copy from the old one. I'm guessing things like signatures & dictionaries may be the same, but have no idea of the rest: toolbars, dictionaries, templates, settings. Thank you! Rosie |

Many settings for Outlook are contained within the Windows Registry and are not in files.

Copying Settings from Outlook 2003 to 2007
Thanks, Brian, but I didn't mean registry changes. I know where the
customization files are located for Outlook 2003 & I've been keeping my PC & laptop as well as the work computer looking the same just by keeping a few files sync'd, mostly for toolbars, dictionaries & signatures. The files have been interchangeable since 2000. Now, with 2007 being so different, I want to know which ones (if any) are still compatible. None of this involves editing the registry, only copying the right file from the right location in one program to the other. My question is: Which ones would work? And for the rest, is there any way to import them? Thanks again. Rosie |

And for the rest, is there any way to import them? Addins may or may not work. You'll have to consult with the suppliers of those addins. Toolbars as well. You can certainly transfer signatures. I don't know about dictionaries. Usually, and especially when making such a large version change, it's better to reconfigure outlook manually from a clean install and not attempt to reuse configuration files. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
