DYMO LabelWriter Plug IN

[Kenneth Gorelick]

I have a DYMO LabelWriter that installed itself into my "Tools" menu. I
removed it from the Office 2004>Office>startup folder and that cleared it
out for a while. Suddenly, today, it reappeared in the menu but I cannot
find it anywhere in my Office folders.

I need to get rid of it because it stops my EndNote from working, and I NEED
that program!

Any ideas on where I can find the file and delete it permanentely?

Look under Tools | Templates and Add-ins and try Removing it if you see
it listed as a Global Template/Add-in.

Do a spotlight search on the file to find it.

There is no listing under the Tools|Templates. I have tried to use spotlight
and cannot find a file in the MS folder in Applications or User|Documents.
On the other hand, there are too many in Library, but all are in DYMO
folders.

Further update:

This morning when I opened Word, DYMO was gone and EndNote was back. Then I
opened my file--EndNote disappeared, DYMO is back! This happened several
times.

I opened a new file and imported my old file into it. Now I have EndNote.
However, if I goe back to the original file, I still get DYMO.

The immediate issue is (at least for now) resolved--but I still do not know
what the heck is going on!

No real clue what's going on here--templates can carry custom menu
settings, and it sounds like that is the issue. If it's not happening
in new documents, only certain old ones, then I guess you are set.

By the way--you can actually keep using EndNote even without the
plug-in. You can copy and paste from a library to enter citations, and
then format them later, after solving a DYMO problem or other problems.
Slows you down, but doesn't have to stop you in your tracks.

Hi Kenneth:

In Word, you can actually add toolbars to a document file.

People who do not really understand how Word works may do this, particularly
if they are trying to hammer their stupid product into your face so you
can't ever get away from it.

When you deleted the DYMO software, you deleted its ability to gratuitously
add toolbars to your documents. That would be done by a DYMO.dot template
in their software.

However, for documents that existed before you removed it, the toolbar has
been jammed into your document. Look up Organizer (note the American
spelling) in the Word Help. Word's Organizer enables you to find and remove
toolbars from a document.

Cheers

Thanks for the help. I understand now what happened, and I will get my hands
on Organizer!

Format menu => Style => Organizer is at bottom left => click "Toolbars"
button among the choices at the top.
