Installing MultiMacro

Before installing MultiMacro, please make sure you have the right version of the program for your version of Microsoft Word. MultiMacro is available for

• Word 6 and 7 (95).

• Word 8 and above (97 and above).

The version of MultiMacro for one of these will not run correctly in the other, even though at first it may appear to. To check your version of Microsoft Word:

1. Click the Help menu item at the top of your Word window.

2. Click “About Microsoft Word.”

You’ll see the version of Word you are running at the top of the window that appears.

If you need a different version of MultiMacro than the one you have now, please download it at www.editorium.com before proceeding.

Once you’ve downloaded and unzipped (or unstuffed) the proper version of the program, you’ll see the MultiMacro template, which is named MULTIMAC.DOT. (If you need software to unzip or unstuff the program, you can download it from www.winzip.com or www.aladdinsys.com.) To use the template, follow this procedure:

1. Open it in Microsoft Word.

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

3. Follow the prompts on your screen.

This will install MultiMacro 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. If you have trouble installing the program template, you can simply copy it to your Templates and Startup folders by hand.

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

If you elected to have MultiMacro 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 Multimac.dot.

4. Click the OK button.

If you didn’t elect to have MultiMacro 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 Multimac.dot.

4. Click the OK button.

Please do not rename any of the MultiMacro macros, copy them to another template, or remove them from the MultiMacro template. MultiMacro 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.
