Office Customization Tool

Add files

Add files to users' computers when Office is installed.

To create a list of files to add to the user's computer during installation, click Add, select the file you want to add to the list, and click Add again. To change the destination path of a file, select the file in the Add custom files list, and then click Modify. To remove a file from the list, select the file, and then click Remove. You can use the Shift and Ctrl keys to select multiple files at one time.

When adding files to an Office installation, note the following:

• Files are copied into the Setup customization file when you save the customization file and exit the OCT. Large files increase the size of the customization file and the amount of time it takes to create it.
• If you revise a file that is currently included in the customization file, you must open the customization file with the OCT, remove the file from the Add files list, add the revised version, and then save the customization file.
• If the user removes, repairs, or reinstalls Office, the custom files are removed or reinstalled along with Office. Setup does not reinstall a custom file, however, if the file has changed since installation.
