Add-In woes in Word 07
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 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs "Tom Smith" tomDOTsmith68AT@verizonDOTnet wrote in message ... 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 |

start-up folder. Again, thanks. Tom "Beth Melton" wrote in message ... Have you tried placing it in the Word\Startup folder? Templates in this folder will automatically load when Word starts.

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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs "Tom Smith" tomDOTsmith68AT@verizonDOTnet wrote in message ...

Yes, that's exactly right. But putting it into the Start-up folder did the
trick. Thx again. T "Beth Melton" wrote in message ... You're welcome.
