how do i set up multiple user profiles in word, office
I am a radio announcer, and have a "radio" name, and company address, and a
real name and home address. I have one computer. I found out how to set up outlook to separate my two identities, now how do you do the same for the rest of the office suite. There are some templates that customize to the username that windows is logged onto. I don't want to have the hassle of retyping, or rebooting just to get my personal and business stuff separated. Any ideas? |

You can create different templates with different data.

thank you for responding Susan, However, what I am looking for is a "blanket
fix" like the one you do in outlook to create a separate "user profile prompt" ... you don't have to reboot or anything, just exit outlook and start outlook and a prompt comes up asking which person you are. It is a great tool for Doctors, Lawyers, Sports figures etc, that need to be able to manage their "public" and "private" lives in the same computer. some of the templates automatically fill in your personal information from your sign in data. It is a big pain to have to change the templates manually....you should have an option of identies, so that the right data automatically updates. "Suzanne S.

It is probably easier to set up two user profiles in Windows - one for each
of your split personalities.

It would be easier still if there was a dropdown box that you could create,
like in outlook for different user. I have two separate identities in outlook and I DON'T have to logoff or reboot windows!!! So, why does the same not apply to the rest of the office suite.... this was apparently a major league oversight. Any ideas for a macro script that could accomplish this until Microsoft writes the patch?

I doubt Microsoft will write a patch since it is easily solved by logging in
as a different user. I use AutoText and AutoText fields for user-specific information. The different users each have their own Word Startup folders that load the AutoText. This includes name and call-back number but could also include company name, address or other info. I suppose that you could do the same thing with a single user by loading and unloading user-specific Add-Ins. It would be relatively easy to design a UserForm to switch from one to another. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

This NG is for Word. You need to ask in an Outlook NG.
