Roaming Local Settings in Office 2010

Good news! Office 2010 fixes the Office 2007 issue, where-by you need to resort to implementing fixes yourself, to get Quick Access Toolbar and the new customisable Ribbon to roam between computers. You’ll have to remember to enable this option yourself though – create a Setup customisation with the Office Customisation Tool and enable the following option:

Features – Modify user settings – Microsoft Office 2010 System – Global Options – Customize – Allow roaming of all user customisations

AllowRoamingOfAllUserCustomisations

Nice and simple with no need for additional work in your user environment management tool of choice to roam those settings – happy users.

Note – Microsoft does provide a fix for Office 2007 (a hotfix and a registry change) which you can implement to make Office store Quick Access Toolbar files in the roaming portion of the profile: Quick Access Toolbar files for 2007 Office applications do not roam with your profile.
