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.



MORE INFORMATION
Separate worksheets in Settings.xls document changes between Office 2000 and each of the following versions:
 * Microsoft Office 4.3
 * Microsoft Office 95
 * Microsoft Office 97
 * Microsoft Outlook 98

On each worksheet, settings are grouped first by application and then by menu and submenu, in the same order that you encounter them in the user interface. For each entry, Settings.xls provides the following details:
 * Setting

The name of the stored setting.
 * Migrate

Whether the setting migrates to Office 2000 with its present value. The Migrate column contains the following values:


 * Y - Yes
 * N - No
 * D - Depends (The Notes column describes the conditions.)
 * Notes

Conditional information about how or under what circumstances the setting migrates, including the following:


 * Whether the setting persists after the application is restarted.
 * General notes. For example, whether the setting is retained in the file associated with the application, and not in the Windows registry or an INI file.
