Office 2003 Add In installation requirements

eeisenst — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:13:26 GMT

Hi,I am testing Alfresco, and I cannot run the "Alfresco Add-In for Office 2003". Once I have installed the plug-in, I open Word but nothing appears. There is no Alfresco Toolbox by default and a right click on the menu displays a list of all the available toolbox but there is no Alfresco's toolbox

I had the same problems, this is what I had to do to fix everything:

First, uninstall all previous versions of the add-in (word, office, etc)

Download the 2.9c version of the add-in

Second, go to office update and install all the latest updates

Third, go to tools -> Customize -> commands -> tools and drag the "Com Add-ins" to a tool bar

Fourth, close the customize dialog

Fifth, click the COM Add-In button and hit the checkmark for AlfrescoWord2003

Sixth, tools -> Customize -> Toolbars -> and check "Alfresco"

7th, close the customize dialog box and click the Alfresco toolbar icon.

Thanks a lot for your answers!

I, finally found the problem: when I've installed the Office Add-in, I run the "AlfrescoOffice2003Setup.msi" file, not the setup.exe file and some of the program was not installed… silly… Now it works fine!
