Microsoft Office 2019 registry entry question

Question

_{Wednesday, November 21, 2018 12:29 PM}

Question for someone who has MS Office 2019 installed. I don't have it. Office 2016 created this registry entry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Word\Options

When 2019 is installed is the above entry used or is this created: HKEY_CURRENT_USER SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\19.0\Word\Options

I suspect "16.0" but can't verify and need to assist someone and knowing this will be helpful. Thanks

Hi,

Office 2019 and Office 2016 both have the same version: 16.0. So, the Windows registry for Word 2019 options is HKEY_CURRENT_USER SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Word\Options . To learn more about Office releases and their version number, read this article: Supported scenarios for installing different versions of Office, Project, and Visio on the same computer.

Hope it helps.

Regards,
Herb

WOW!!! Thanks Herb.  It sounds like it won't add more clutter to the Registry.  Hope it doesn't cause other problems... But it will make my life easier.  My programming skills aren't that "complex".  So I won't have to modify my programs every time they make a change to Office.

:) Thanks again.
