Troubleshooting
Problem: When you try to open the template to install the program, Microsoft Word tells you that “The macros in this project are disabled . . .”
Solution: Microsoft Word’s macro virus protection is enabled or set to a high level of security. To change this:
In Word 2002 (XP):
1. Click the “Tools” menu.
2. Click “Options”.
3. Click the “Security” tab.
4. Click the “Macro Security” button (on the lower right).
5. Click the “Security Level” tab if it’s not already active.
6. Set your security level to medium and click the OK button.
7. Click the next OK button to close the Options dialog.
In Word 2000 or 2001:
1. Click the “Tools” menu.
2. Click “Macro.”
3. Click “Security.”
4. Click the “Security Level” tab if it’s not already active.
5. Set your security level to medium and click the OK button.
In Word 97 or 98:
1. Click the “Tools” menu.
2. Click “Options”.
3. Click the “General” tab.
4. Uncheck the box labeled “Macro virus protection.”
5. Click the “OK” button.
In Word 95:
1. Click the “Tools” menu.
2. Click “Options.”
3. Click the “General” tab.
4. Uncheck the box labeled “Enable Macro Virus Protection.”
5. Click the “OK” button.
Now, in Word 2000 or higher, any time you open a document or template that includes macros, Word will give you the choice of whether to disable or enable macros. If the document or template isn’t supposed to have macros in it, you should click the “Disable Macros” button, because the macros could be a virus. If the document or template is supposed to have macros and comes from a source you know is reliable, click the “Enable Macros” button so you can run the macros.
In Word 95, 97, or 98, you don’t have these options. Macro virus protection is either on or off. Before turning it off permanently you may want to read more about it in Word’s Help file or check with your system administrator.
Problem: You’ve installed the program, but you can’t see or find the program menu. In addition, Word may have crashed after you finished the installation.
Solution: Delete any existing versions of the progam template that are in Word’s Startup and Templates folders. Then, to install the program, open the newly downloaded program template in Microsoft Word by clicking File > Open, selecting the template, and clicking the Open button. Do not open the template by double-clicking it outside of Microsoft Word. If you do, the program will not be installed correctly. After opening the template in the proper manner, follow the installation instructions in this documentation.
If you still have problems after this, once again delete any existing versions of the program template that are in Word’s Startup and Templates folders. Then simply copy the template into Word’s Startup folder and restart Microsoft Word.
If you don’t know the location of the Startup or Templates folder, you can find it like this:
1. Click the Tools menu.
2. Click the Options menu.
3. Click the File Locations tab.
4. Click the line that says “User Templates” or “Startup.”
5. Click the Modify button.
You’ll see the full path to your folder. Write it down. Click Cancel and then Close to put the dialog away.
Problem: When you try to load WordSetter as a global template or add-in, you get the Convert File dialog, asking you to select a kind of text for conversion.
Solution: You’re trying to load the wrong version of WordSetter for your version of Microsoft Word. To get the correct version, please download it from the Editorium.
Problem: When you try to load WordSetter as a global template or add-in, the status bar says, “Translating macros” and shows Word’s progress as it translates the macros in WordSetter. When it’s finished, the program’s toolbars are all messed up.
Solution: You’re trying to load the wrong version of WordSetter for your version of Microsoft Word. To get the correct version, please download it from the Editorium.
Problem: You’re using justified text, and you find loose lines and bad word breaks after adjusting spacing with WordSetter.
Solution: Fix the problems just as you would in any other word-processing or typesetting program. WordSetter improves how type looks, but it doesn’t solve every typographical problem, by any means.
Problem: You get the message that there are too many changes for Word’s automatic spelling and grammar check to handle.
Solution: Turn off automatic spelling and grammar check.
Problem: You get this message: “The formatting in this document is too complex. Please full save the document now.”
Solution: You’ve probably adjusted spacing too many times in a row. You should:
1. Save the document.
2. Save your document more frequently.
3. Free up more memory by closing other programs and documents.
4. Make your formatting less complex.
5. Break your document into smaller documents.
Problem: You’re trying to adjust spacing you’ve applied in the past, but nothing seems to change.
Solution: You may need to reapply the spacing because it’s somehow been removed. Also, realize that not every tiny adjustment makes a visible difference, especially in justified text. Finally, after many spacing changes, Microsoft Word sometimes simply refuses to find and replace spaces. In this case, try saving the document in RTF format and then working on the new document you created.
