How to make the Writer's Workbench Toolbar available whenever Word is invoked

Please feel free to call our direct support number (630) 548-4219 if you have problems with or questions about this procedure.

 This procedure is available for WWB 8.5 (June, 2011 release).  To upgrade to that release, Click Here for US customer or Here for non-US customer.

1. Start Microsoft Word (Start, Programs, Microsoft Word or through the desktop shortcut)
2. Word 2003 and earlier:
   1. Pull down Tools, Options, File Locations; modify "Startup" to point to "C:\WWB\Startup"
   2. "OK" your way out of these dialogs
3. Word 2007 / Word 2010:
   1. Click File (or Office button) in the upper-left corner
   2. Click on Options and then Advanced
   3. Scroll down to the bottom and click on "File Locations"
   4. Modify "Startup" to read "C:\WWB\Startup"
   5. "OK" your way out of these dialogs.
4. Exit Word
5. The desktop shortcut to Writer's Workbench can be deleted, as it will no longer be necessary
6. Start Microsoft Word again (Start, Programs, Microsoft Word or through a desktop shortcut or double-click on a .doc or .docx document)
7. The Writer's Workbench tools should be loaded now as if you had invoked Word using the WWB icon

If you would like to make loading Writer's Workbench optional again, point Word's Startup directory to a different location in Word.
