Installing Editor’s ToolKit Plus

Automatic Installation

To install the program automatically:

1. Open the program template in Microsoft Word by clicking File > Open, selecting the template, and clicking the Open button. Do not open the template by double-clicking it outside of Microsoft Word. If you do, the program will not be installed correctly, and you’ll run into problems later. If Word asks if you want to “enable macros” when using this program, your answer should be yes. Otherwise, the program won’t work. If Word tells you that the macros have been disabled, you’ll need to change your macro security settings in order to use the program. Please see the “Troubleshooting” section of this documentation for further information.

2. Double-click the large button that says “Double-Click here to Install.”

3. Follow the prompts on your screen.

This will install Editor’s ToolKit Plus as a global template or add-in. If you elected to have the program start automatically when you start Microsoft Word, the program template will be saved to your Templates and Startup folders. If you elected not to have the program start automatically, it will be saved to your Templates folder.

When the installation is finished, if the Editor’s ToolKit Plus template is still open on your screen, close it. You can now discard the installation template or save it as a backup.

Manual Installation

If you have trouble installing the program template automatically, you can simply copy it to your Templates and Startup folders by hand. If you don’t know where these folders are, you can find out like this:

1. Click the Tools menu.

2. Click the Options menu.

3. Click the File Locations tab.

4. Click the line that says “User Templates” or “Startup.”

5. Click the Modify button.

You’ll see the full path to your folder. Click Cancel and then Close to put the dialog away. Then navigate to the folder and put in the ETKPlus.dot template.

Making the Program Available

If you elected to have Editor’s ToolKit Plus start automatically when you start Word, you’ll need to follow a simple procedure to make it available during the same Word session as the one in which you installed it:

1. Click the Tools menu. (In Word 6 or 7 [95], click File.)

2. Click Templates and Add-ins. (In Word 6 or 7 [95], click Templates.)

3. Put a check in the checkbox next to ETKPlus.dot.

4. Click the OK button.

If you didn’t elect to have Editor’s ToolKit Plus start automatically when you start Word, you’ll need to activate it each time you start Word:

1. Click the Tools menu. (In Word 6 or 7 [95], click File.)

2. Click Templates and Add-ins. (In Word 6 or 7 [95], click Templates.)

3. Put a check in the checkbox next to ETKPlus.dot.

4. Click the OK button.

Please do not rename any of the Editor’s ToolKit Plus macros, copy them to another template, or remove them from the program template. Editor’s ToolKit Plus uses these macros in combination and will not work properly if they have been copied to another template or renamed or if some of the macros are no longer present.
