Office 2003 to Office 2010

We are thinking about upgrading from Office 2003 to 2010. 30 standard, 10 Professional versions. One concern is the lack of the "Save My Settings Wizard." We have a number of Macros and a tool bars that would need to be converted. What is the best way to do this? It's an extremely expensive undertaking and having to spend $50.00 per user for what I did find, the backup and restore program from Windows7, is not practical. I have not found any documention so far. 

Thanks

The best approach to achieve migration similar to Save My Settings Wizard from Office 2003/2007 to Office 2010 would be to use the latest version of the User State Migration Tool (USMT).  For more details on this and other useful links, please checkout http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg617942.aspx.

Also a list of registry keys that are migrated and not-migrated by an in-place upgrade or an uninstall-upgrade can be found at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624352.aspx.

Hope this helps.

There is no way this could be made simpler? I have a .OPS file with the office 03 settings and macros that would need to go to office 2010 but from what I read USMT is designed to migrate all user programs and settings. This doesn't look practical for us at this time.

Maybe we will just stick with 03

Thanks

Actually, the simplest approached ended up working best. I copied the macros and tool bar from an 03 system into a blank document and saved it. Opened it in 2010
and copied everything  over.It seems to work fine. Doesn't address some of the other issues, but it's a start.
