You're welcome. Glad to hear that's the key you were looking for. :-)
I suspected you were adding it manually, which as you noted, won't
automatically load when Word starts.

Yes! That did it. thanks so much. I actually didn't realize Word had its
own start-up folder.
Again, thanks. Tom

Have you tried placing it in the Word\Startup folder? Templates in this
folder will automatically load when Word starts. To locate your
Word/Startup folder, copy the following and paste it in the Address bar
in an Exploring window, such as My Computer:
%appdata%\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP

Word 2007 under Win XP.
I have the following problem trying to get a Brother add-in, P-Touch
4.1, to be permanently added to Word 2007.
I seem to follow the procedure, get to the Add-in page, check the
P-touch button, and have even (as far as I can tell) tried to tell Word
that I want it attached to Normal.dotm. The add-in is listed in Word as
a .dot file. This will bring up the add-in during a current session, but
when next I open Word the add-in is gone and I have to start all over.
I have steered Word, at some point during the process, to the folder
where the add-in is located, but that doesn't seem to get me over the
hump. I even copied the add-in to the Templates file; no better.
The Brother people claim that the version of the add-in I have should
work in Word 2007.
I did write once before about this, and got some responses, which I
followed as well as I could. But still no success. I assume I'm missing
a step somewhere.
Any advice? Thx.
Tom
