I have a new computer running Win 7 and it has Microsoft Office 2007.  the 
computer had a RAID 1 configuration, which means a second disk was mirroring 
everything the main disk was doing.  The main disk failed, and I for a number 
of reason i was force to do a fresh reinstall of Win7 and Office 2007 on a 
new main drive.  I am now trying to migrate my data from disk 2 to disk 1.

Outlook 2007 is proving a challenge.  I can copy over the .pst files from 
drive 2 to drive 1, but when i reinstall my email accounts the program 
insists and starting new .pst files rather than use my existing outlook.pst 
and archive.pst.  how can i make it use my existing files?

On a related issue, does anyone know how i could copy my Word 2007 macros 
and customizations to from the old drive to new?

Copy over your pst-file (do not overwrite any pst-files in the process) and 
reconnect to it by File-> Open-> Outlook Data File...
You can use File-> Data File Management... to set it as you default pst-file 
again.

Word keeps your default template (including macros) in the normal.dotx file.
