5. Copy your work PST file to the PST file used on your home computer.
This file should be the same location and name of the file used at work.
You
can check the current setting by going to tools, options, data files. If
you
need to change it, close Outlook, and move the file using a file manager and
give it the correct name. When you re-open Outlook, it will prompt you to
browse for the correct location of the PST file.

The rest seems OK, but I'll disagree with this part. You should never
substitute one PST for another with the same name if that PST's name is
already defined in your mail profile. You run a high risk of corrupting your
mail profile. Instead, put the copied PST in a directory OTHER THAN the one
Outlook uses by default and do give it a new name. Then, if you want to have
this new PST as the delivery location, while you can do as you say and rename
the original and, when Outlook complains, point to the new one, I'd rather use
the Mail applet in Control Panel to add the copied PST, switch the delivery
location cleanly, and remove the old PST all while Outlook wasn't running.
