Word 2007 and Vista - add-in tab has gone missing
I use Naturalreader to do text-to-speech. One of the package's
"claims to fame" is that it can put a toolbar in Word and other programs. Highlight the text and it'll speak the text. It worked relatively well until I upgraded to Vista. Then then the add-in tab went missing. I can see Naturalreader in the add-in section under Word Options and have it checked. I've tried a variety of things but no luck so far. Any ideas? |

Word 2007 and Vista - add-in tab has gone missing
Did you ever see it in Word 2007? Or was it never there in the first
place? The Add-Ins tab only shows if there is content for it.

Word 2007 and Vista - add-in tab has gone missing
The add-in tab was there and worked fine until I installed Vista.
Haven't seen it since. |

Word 2007 and Vista - add-in tab has gone missing
Which add-in tab are you talking about? The one in the Word Options dialog?
Or, the one at the far right end in the ribbon? If the latter, the add-ins tab shows only when a specific add-in is open. What add-in are you talking about? -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com wrote in message ...

Sounds like the add-in you are missing isn't compatible with Vista. I'd
try removing and reinstalling the add-in first and if that doesn't work, get in touch with the manufacturer of it.

Word 2007 and Vista - add-in tab has gone missing
I'm referring to the Add-ins tab on the right hand side of the ribbon.
The add-in is for Naturalreader (text-to-speech application). The support folks at Naturalsoft say the program is compatable with Vista but speak of right-clicking on the toolbar to get the add-in to appear. I may be misunderstanding them. I removed and re-installed the program but no luck. |

That sounds like instructions for Word 2003 to me. In 2003, you have the
ability to show a hidden toolbar. 2007 doesn't allow you to do that though. You can probably make it appear with a line of VBA code though. Maybe one of the Word MVPs who knows VBA a lot better than I do can volunteer a link or the appropriate line of code? I would suggest to give the support folks another call anyhow though. Tell them to take a look at http://pschmid.net/blog/2006/10/18/68. That will tell them exactly what you can and cannot do in Word 2007 in this regard. I suspect that you won't be the only person who is going to encounter this problem once you upgrade to 2007, so they'll probably be able to find a solution for everyone with your case.

I appreciate the advice. I've sent emails to my friends at Microsoft
and Naturalsoft and will go from there. |

Just a heads up to anyone else who runs into a similar problem.
I selected the NaturalReader "run as admisistrator" option (right click on program in program list and select) and the add-ins tab returned. I'm not sure it's the right way but it'll do until I hear from the Microsoft and/or Naturalsoft support people (looks like it might be a while) |

Sounds like NaturalReader has a problem with the new User Account
Control in Vista. I guess they haven't updated their program for that yet.
