Dear David, Unfortunately there are many different ways of setting up Office 95,97,98,2000,XP so getting universal instructions correct is very difficult. It is important to find out where your system is configured to look for templates. It should be apparent in Tools...Options...File locations...User Templates but I've seen cases where that isn't right for some reason. Before installing the toolkit, check that the File...New mechanism is working properly in your copy of Word. When you do File...New you should see a selection of possible templates in tabbed categories General, Letters & Faxes etc. Try doing a Search or Find from the START button, looking for files called *.DOT this will tell you where the rest of the templates are (usually). When you have found the folder create a sub-folder called scripts and copy the .DOT files from the Scriptwriters Toolkit into it. Be sure to Unzip the downloaded file into a convenient temporary folder before copying the templates by Drag and Drop as .DOT files into a folder called Scripts within the main user templates folder. Then File....New... should work. I've just looked at Word 97 on my notebook computer & at first it would not show templates other than a blank document after File New... Then I noticed it was a folder called ZooBeeDoo which is weird & might have been caused by a virus. Resetting Tools...Options...File locations...User Templates to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates made it work correctly again. You said: >Scripts being a file created for this purpose But it needs to be a FOLDER not a FILE. >On clicking File, New, More Word Templates I don't have "More Word Templates" on my Word 97, so I'm not sure how you got that. I don't think you should need to use Tools...Templates...Add-Ins, which are facilities to do particularly complicated things. >The "Bookmark does not exist" message can only normally arise if the first page (Page 0) is modified without using the dialog boxes. Since you did something unusual with Tools Templates Add-ins, I think the error message there is a red herring. ======== If you can't get them to install in the normal Word 97 method, you can try making them into Workgroup Templates (normally used by local networks) by following the instructions in "Windows 2000.doc" Bill
