What I am saying I can reinstall MS Offioce, I have the origional set-up file, so I can reinstall the MS Office without any problems, but it's getting back all the settings (email address books etc) that is of concern. Toshiba are going to wipe my hard drive later this afternoon and all will be lost if I cant find away to save all these settings. I have multipal email accounts and a very large address book, I just do not want to loose any of it. Previous versions of office has a backup facility, but can find any reference to it on this version. Also cant find a way of importing it after a new installation - Hence my question.
