Limitations

Following are the limitations:

The MS Office Shortcut Bar was removed by Microsoft in the 2003 version of Office. Migrations to this version are not supported.
The MS Office Shortcut Bar must be closed before you migrate.
Toolbar buttons may become obsolete if there are not corresponding files\paths on the destination computer.
The contents of system defined toolbars such as Desktop and Favorites must be migrated separately by choosing to move the specific folder.
Unable to detect application on destination, toolbars will migrate but your settings may have to be reset or re-migrated.
Toolbar colors may change when migrating to a display with different color settings.
If you are migrating MS Office applications with the Shortcut Bar, you will need to perform the MS Office Shortcut Bar migration again.
If toolbars on source are not named the same as the destination toolbars, the old toolbars (which will appear as buttons on the new toolbar) will have to be closed manually after migration.
