There are several ways to do this. First off, as of XP (at least), there's an OS level wizard in Windows that lets you save EVERYTHING (your Microsotft apps configurations, that is) - and move to a new computers. Haven't tried it but heard it works well. Though I have my doubts.

What I did in the past, several times, very successfuly:

1. Compy Normal.dot from your old computer to the new one. end of story - u got yor macors. What will be missing is the keyboard shortcuts to your macros - you'd need to recreate those unfortunately.

2. if you have any custom dictionaries - copy these too (basically - if you use Auto-Correct/Auto text, then you have at the very least changed the deafualt custom.dic.

look under tools-->options to find where the file is kept.

3. all this applies to WORD. for excel, all you need is to copy the file personal.xls (the excel's, sort-of-equivalent to Word's normal.dot).

good luck, it's not that difficult.
