Installing templates in Word 2003

[Wayne]

I have downloaded a template for use with Word. It was originally written to
work with Word 97, and then updated to work with Word 2000. The installation
paths specified in the readme are not the same in Windows XP Professional,
nor for Office/Word 2003.

The template is not new, and was last updated in 2003. It contains macros
that put a toolbar in Word that allows me to work with the Tengwar fonts. If
you are not familiar with them, they are the written language characters that
represent the Elven languages of J.R.R. Tolkien.

Can someone please tell me how to install this .dot and its associated .hlp
file in Word 2003?

There should be no need for any sort of add-in to work with any plain
ol' left-to-right font. Just install the font (right-click its name
and choose Install) and it'll be there in Word and everywhere else.

But Houghton Mifflin is awfully jealous of its copyrights -- how did
you get a Tengwar font?

It is probably intended to be installed into the Word Startup Folder. You
can determine where that is by selecting Options from the Tools menu and
then go to the File Locations tab.

Or, run a macro containing the following code:

MsgBox Application.StartupPath

It is usually in C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application
Data\Microsoft\Word\Startup
