save my settings wizard/ Word

[Guest]

I am trying to use the save my settings wizard in order to move my MS Word
settings from desktop to laptop, but when I run it on my desktop (with Ms
Word closed) it first tells me incorrectly that Word is still open, and then
after I click on the ignore button, it gives me this error message:

Cannot open c:\documents and settings\user\application
data\Microsoft\templates\normal.dot

Normal.dot is in this folder, and is not set as read only?

Is Outlook open when this problem happens? If yes, then try
closing that too.

Yes, I thought of that the second time, closed Outlook, and it still will not
work. JF

You can do a lot of this manually. See

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/DataKeySettings.htm, and other
articles linked to those.
