    Identifying / Saving Excel customization before reinstallation.

    I need to reload the OS on my PC – is there an Export or similar function in Excel that will identify any and all customization that have been made to the program. For instance Add-Ins Installed (I know where to find this one). A while back I had a VBA problem that was resolved by adding a “reference” – I can take a screen shot of References used, but planning the OS reload made me wonder if there were any other Excel “customizations” I should check before I wipe my system as well as wonder if there was a better way to make sure all those changes got added back on reload. Is there anything else to check besides Add-Ins and VBA References? Is there better way to identify such changes other than taking screenshots? Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

    All I could locate was how to save the Tool Bar Ribbon settings if they were customized.

    LOL - Clearly I should have been more precise in my language - thanks for the laugh.
