How to move a configuration to a new installation

Post by jonathangkoehn »

This is from the Spanish forum: Krono
Si me es necesario cambiar de computador como puedo hacer para migrar el software sin perder la configuración que me ha costado tiempo organizar?

It is necessary for me to change computers. How can I migrate the software without loosing the configuration that has taken me so long to organize.

Thoughts? Has this been discussed before?

For a regular installation I would expect to move across the files in the user folder location as described in the doc https://www.theword.net/docs/tw3-file-locations.doc
Main thing is don't panic.

Is there a way to wipe out an old config.ini file and start fresh with a "factory default" config.ini?

close theWord and then delete the config.ini
On restart theWord will make a new one.
