tonygardner	Uploaded - 22 Oct 2003 15:28 I have downloaded and tried to install the toolkit. Firstly, I do not seem to have the folder samplescripts after I have unzipped the files. Secondly, despite following the instructions, when I try to create a new document using any of the templates provided, I receive a Microsoft Visual Basic dialogue box with "Unexpected error 336" I can even get as far as seeing the template, but the error message appears when I click the smiley button to insert new characters. Can you help please? Tony

I have downloaded and tried to install the toolkit.

Firstly, I do not seem to have the folder samplescripts after I have unzipped the files.

Secondly, despite following the instructions, when I try to create a new document using any of the templates provided, I receive a Microsoft Visual Basic dialogue box with "Unexpected error 336"

I can even get as far as seeing the template, but the error message appears when I click the smiley button to insert new characters.

Can you help please?

The Sample Template file is called Stage5c.zip. It contains two folders, one called Sample Scripts and the other called Scripts5 and a document called InstallationInstructionsNI.doc

The Sample Scripts folder can be dragged to your "My Documents folder. It contains one file called TheAddingMachine5.doc.

The Scripts5 folder needs to be put into a folder that MS Word regardsas a templates folder. It contains one template called Stage5c.dot

If you don't see these files & folders there is something odd with your Zip program, which you will need to sort out before opening a template will make any sense.
