If you have files other than these, IT is not responsible for them. You will need to move them before the migration/refresh. We will search the computer for these files regardless of where they may be stored. The files that we moved will be put back on the machine, after the migration/refresh procedure, in the "My Documents" folder.- Microsoft Word (*.doc, *.dot)
- Microsoft Excel (*.xls, *.xlt)
- Microsoft PowerPoint (*.ppt)
- Microsoft Access (*.mdb)
