Inactive Add-ins??
I just upgraded my Office 2003 to 2007 and couldn't get page number gallery
up. I thought it was disabled add-ins but there weren't any. According to the Help file, I needed to go to word options, trust center, trust center settings, add-ins, tools. I got as far as the second to last step. There is no tools! I fixed the page number problem by moving the building blocks.dotx and I got my page numbers to work. But now I'm curious about all those inactive add-ins I saw in word options, add-ins. How do I activate them? |

Inactive Add-ins??
At the very bottom of the Add-Ins tab, there's a drop list and a Go button.
Select something from the list, like "COM Add-Ins" and click Go. Then you have the option of putting a check mark next to the addin you want to activate.

Inactive Add-ins??
The Help topic is a little out of whack, plus you're misreading part
of it. The "View the installed add-ins" section is correct: Click the Microsoft Office button, then click ... Word Options, and then click Add-ins. You _don't_ go from Word Options to Trust Center Trust Center Settings Add-ins, which is a different page. The next part in the Help topic, which mentions Tools, is _only_ for Visio, Outlook, and InfoPath, which don't have the Ribbon and Office button. In those programs, you start in the Tools menu (which doesn't exist in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Access) and then go to Trust Center Add-ins. The section further down about "Manage the installed add-ins" is wrong. The click path should be the same as the one for "View..." above. When you see the list of active and inactive add-ins, you can select the proper subgroup in the Manage dropdown and click the Go button. Then you get a dialog where you can enable/disable add-ins. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
