You could also try Drive Image by Power Quest. What you would do is move your old drive into your new computer and make it a slave drive. Install the Drive Image onto your new drive and create the diskettes. Once you have the diskettes, reboot your system with the floppy in and follow the on-screen prompts.
Once DI starts, choose the transfer disk contents to new disk (I'm not sure what the actual message is, but this is close.) Like Norton's Ghost, this will copy everything on one hard drive to the other hdd. This is another way to achieve what you want to do, the down side is that your new hdd will be overwritten.

Just copying that directory would not do it. Copying all the dll's into the proper directory would not do it either.

MS Office is so integrated into the OS, that there's really no way to accomplish a copying and working environment this way.

The registry keys would not contain the proper information for the entire Office suite and I personally believe that it'd take forever to figure out where everything goes.

My recommendation: Purchase the Office 2000 items that you need. Word, Excel, etc. or the Suite of them.
