Also, is normal.dot still used? I can't locate a new one. Where would that be?

Life would be much easier if I could copy over my ribbons, macros, shortcuts, etc.

Please advise.

Normal.dotm may not exist if you have made no changes to your defaults. See Normal Template in Microsoft Word - How to Open for help in locating it. Instructions for finding the file path are also in the first reference above.

If both installations were Word 2010 your customizations to the QAT would be in the file Word.officeUI and to the Ribbon would be in the file Word14.customUI. If your Ribbon customization was done using XML and not through the Word interface, it would be stored in templates and documents.

For AutoCorrect, see the utility referenced in the first link.
