  2. Unzip the macro-enable template files to a location on your PC.
  3. To install the add-in: Windows XP:

    • Copy the appropriate macro-enabled file to the applications startup folder.
      Word example (Word Menu 2003.dotm):
      (C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\Startup)

    Windows Vista:

    • Copy the appropriate macro-enabled file to the applications startup folder.
