OFF2000: List of Settings Migrated from Earlier Versions of Office

• Microsoft Office 2000

SUMMARY

In each version of Microsoft Office, you can configure settings to customize the user interface. When you upgrade to Office 2000, however, you might discover that new settings have been added, and familiar settings have moved or disappeared.

To help you prepare for the transition, the Office Resource Kit includes an inside look at these settings. A Microsoft Excel workbook named Settings.xls identifies which settings are affected when you upgrade to Office 2000. It also describes the conditions under which a setting moves or changes in Office 2000.
