Note that to preserve a copy of your original settings, you should first copy your System.dat and User.dat files, which are located in the Windows folder.

To access the RegOptions macro, use the following steps:


 * 1) On the File menu, click Templates.
 * 2) Click Add.
 * 3) Change to the Macros subfolder under Winword (for example, C:\Msoffice\Winword\Macros).
 * 4) Select the Macros7.dot file and click OK. This step adds the Macros7 template to the "Global Templates and Add-ins" box. Click OK.
 * 5) The Run Sample Macros button appears on the toolbar. Click this button.
 * 6) Select the RegOptions macro. Click OK.
 * 7) In the Section list, choose which part of the Registry you want to change: Word 7.0 Options, Equation Editor, or Environment.
 * 8) Make the desired change and click Change.

Some settings in the Registry are set during installation; other settings can be added later. The RegOptions macro allows you to modify or add the following sections to the Windows Registry: Section                 Options             Modify existing setting or Add new setting? -- Word 7.0 Options         AutoSave-Path       Modify Bak-Extension      Add BitMapMemory       Add CacheSize          Add DateFormat         Add DOC-Path           Modify DOT-Extension      Add INI-Path           Add NoFontMRUList      Add OLEDOT             Add Picture-Path       Modify ProgramDir         Modify SlowShading        Add Startup-Path       Add TimeFormat         Add
