Word XML Toolbox

[prgmrgirl]

Howdy all,

This is a strange one. I downloaded the XML toolbar figuring it would save me some time. Got it all installed, open up a word doc but when I click any of the buttons, none of them work. Nothing happens at all. It will not convert tags, show schema, won't let me save from that toolbar. Nothing. It's as if there's no code behind the toolbar.

Has anyone had this happen to them and found a solution?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Remember that the toolbox only works with Microsoft Office Word 2003. In addition, the toolbox makes heavy use of the Microsoft .NET Framework and requires that .NET Programmability Support is enabled on your development computer prior to attempting to install or run the toolbox.

Is this your situation?

Did you install it through Tools, Templates and Add-ins? If not, it will not work.

Thanks for the responses guys.

Two things that you should know:

1. I have both Framework 1.1 and 2.0 installed (I need these for my programming projects.)

2. This is how I installed: I downloaded an MSI from microsoft and installed it. I then went through Tool-> Templates & Add-Ins and installed through there which made the toolbar appear. However, when I go to use the toolbar, none of the buttons work, not even help. Will not convert tags, basically nothing happens at all. The buttons are all dead.

Try this:
Control Panel,Add or Remove Programs, Microsoft Office 2003, Change, Add or Remove Features, Choose Advanced Customization of Applications

Enable Microsoft Office Word >> .NET Programmability Support

Hey guys, I found the answer: in order to use the toolbox you need to install the Office Primary Interop Assemblies. You can find info on it here.

Hope this helps someone out there!
