I downloaded the toolkit but after it was finished downloading Adobe Acrobat opened and then gave a message of wrong file ending.

Did the download not work?

I am running word 2000

There are no .PDF files in the toolkit, so Adobe Acrobat should not be involved at all!

The toolkit is a .ZIP file. You may have your File Types set incorrectly in Folder options or you may not have WinZip installed.

See the Windows Help file. [ Start-button... Help... type in File Types...
click on changing] and you should see help like this.

Bill

==================
To modify an existing file type

1.. Open Folder Options in Control Panel.
2.. Click the File Types tab.
3.. Click the file type that you want to change.
4.. Click Advanced.
5.. If necessary, modify the description of the file type, and click Change Icon to change the icon for the file type.
6.. In Actions, click the command that you want to modify, and then click Edit, Remove, or Set Default. Or click New to add a new command to the list in Actions.
7.. Repeat step 6 for as many actions as you want to modify for this file type.

Notes

a.. To open a Control Panel item, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click the appropriate icon. Or, in Windows Explorer, click Tools, and then click Folder Options.

b.. After you specify a new action, it appears on the shortcut menu when you right-click a file with the associated extension.

c.. In the Add New File Type dialog box, you can click Browse to find the program you want to specify for the action.

d.. All files that have the file name extension use the icon and commands that you define.

I did not have WinZip.

I downloaded WinZip, now what should I do?

Thank you for your help.

Install Winzip, then if you did not save the Scriptwriters Toolkit to disk, download it again, saving it to disk in say your "My Documents" folder.

Make a folder called "templates" within your "My Documents" folder..

Double click the downloaded Toolkit and Winzip should open it. Extract all the toolkit files into your
My Documents/Templates
folder.

Open Word 2000, drop down the Tools menu and select Options. In the options box select the File Locations tab. Highlight Workgroup Templates and select Modify.

Within the modify box drop down the Look In list and navigate it to your My Documents/Templates folder. Click OK. The result should be that Workgroup Templates is pointing to the folder with the Scripting templates in it.

OK all the tools menu stuff. The system is ready for use.

=====
To start a new script, in Word 2000, drop down the File menu, select New, then select the appropriate template, e.g. film4.

You will then get prompts for Film Title and Character names etc.

There are more details in the .doc files which unpacked with the toolkit.
