you left out the working part:
Save the files in those paths (directories), install them in the
corresponding directories on the new install.

You just copy the files in user preferences (or similar) and stick
them in where the word 2003 userprefs directory is.

No, I don't have word installed, this method is from when I did have
word installed.

I would play with an OS until I broke it (Win2000) the reinstall it,
got tired of setting word preferences all the time so just saved them
from one install to the next.
