Installation


MS Word

To be able to use MS Word with SDL Suite and TTCN Suite, do as follows:

For MS Word 7.0

  1. Put the template file sdt95.dot (available in <Installation Directory>\bin\wini386\sdt95.dot) into the folder \MSOffice\Winword\Startup. This means that the template becomes global and the SDL Suite and TTCN Suite commands will be available in MS Word all the time.
  2. Some macros are template dependent, which requires them to be defined for the template on which the document is based. The macros to be copied from sdt95.dot to your document templates are:
    AutoClose
    AutoNew
    AutoOpen
    
    
    Consult the MS Word documentation on how to copy the macros to your templates.
    The macros are (re)definitions of possibly existing MS Word macros. If you already have them defined in your document templates, you must add the code to your own macros.

For MS Word 8.0

There is an automatic installation program available in <Installation Directory>\bin\wini386\sdtwordinstall.exe. You can also make a manual installation:

  1. Put the template file sdt97.dot (available in <Installation Directory>\bin\wini386\sdt97.dot) into a temporary folder.
  2. Change the file protection from read-only to read/write.
  3. Open this sdt97.dot in MS Word and copy the modules:
    SDTAutomacros
    SDTMisc
    to the template normal.dot. Make sure there are no conflicts with other automacros in normal.dot.
  4. Delete the copied modules from sdt97.dot.
  5. Close MS Word and move the sdt97.dot copy into the folder \Microsoft Office\Office\Startup.
  6. Add a reference (in the MS Word VB-editor) from normal.dot to sdt97.dot.

The Startup Folder

You should check that MS Word points at your start-up folder by choosing Tools > Options. In the dialog that appears, select File Locations and check where the file type Startup is pointing. It should point at the directory where you placed sdt95.dot or sdt97.dot.

Note:

Do not use sdt95.dot or sdt97.dot as a document template. It only contains MS Word macros and should be used solely as a global template.

Preferences

In the Preference Manager, the following parameter should be set:

Parameter Value

SDT*WordCommand

The command that starts MS Word (the default is "Winword.exe").

Make sure that the path points to its directory.
