Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exporting Pam's customized settings to a file and having Sam import them on his laptop will allow for efficient collaboration as they work on the document. This will save time and prevent frustration from having to constantly switch between different Ribbon and Toolbar configurations. Restoring the Ribbon to default settings or reinstalling Word are not necessary and would be more time-consuming than simply exporting and importing the customized settings. Teaching Sam all of Pam's changes would also be time-consuming and could potentially be confusing for Sam, as he may not have the same preferences as Pam.
