How do I move all my excel and word files to new computer
If you have all the files in My Documents, you can copy the whole folder. If
you've been clever and created subfolders of My Documents for Word files and for Excel files, you can copy just those folders. A flash drive (even a capacious one) may not hold all the files if they are large or numerous. What I found worked great was an external USB hard drive. I got a Maxtor 80 GB drive for about $80 that would theoretically allow me to back up my entire HD (and it's intended for backup use, not just for transferring files), and it made quick work of moving all my data from my old computer to a new one. -- Suzanne S.

Both computers will undoubtedly have an ethernet port. Obtain a crossover
network cable from your local computer shop and create a simple network to copy the My Documents content from one to the other. Microsoft Office you will have to install on the laptop. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org klaus wrote: I recently purchased new laptop and want to move all my Microsoft 2007 Home and School to my new computer.

How do I move all my excel and word files to new computer
I would advise that "creating a simple network" may be beyond the
capabilities of many users (including me, apparently), and that getting the two computers in physical proximity will be required. Obviously, this is easier is one is a laptop; in the case of two desktops (my situation), it wouldn't have been practical. I did briefly consider getting a wireless adapter for one or the other of the machines so as to use the wireless network already established, but the USB HD proved to be a lot simpler and can be used for routine backups as well. -- Suzanne S.
