Doc-To-Help 2000 Release Notes (International Version)

Office 2000 Macro Security Certificates

Office 2000 has added many security features to protect against macro viruses and similar risks. One of these features allows us to show you a certificate attesting that the macros in our templates are from a reliable source.

Doc-To-Help 2000 has to open Word 2000 during setup and will display our certificate at the point. Not all the builds of the Office 2000 setup that we have tested with install the program files required to display the certificate. If the Office 2000 certificate feature has never been installed, you will have to interrupt our setup, get your Office 2000 CD and Word will install the necessary components from there.

Rather than have all of this be a surprise to our users, our setup tries to detect whether this will happen and warn you. Unfortunately, after several long phone calls to Microsoft, they were unable to tell us precisely what to look for, so we had to reverse engineer this little corner of the Office 2000 setup and try to identify which files and registry settings are relevant. We will try to improve this aspect of our setup but did not wish to delay this release of Doc-To-Help 2000 - in the meantime, it is possible you will see the message box from setup in error.

Ensuring That Our Macro Security Certificate Displays

Copy the file called Dotpath9.dot from the D2H5 folder of your Doc-To-Help 2000 setup CD to your Windows Desktop and open it in Word 2000. If you see our certificate, check the box that designates WexTech as a trusted source and open the template with Macros Enabled.

If instead Word gives you a message saying "This feature is not installed, would you like to install it?" put your Office 2000 CD in the CD drive of your computer and then click Yes. Note that the message box will not tell you what feature you are missing, which is part of the reason for this lengthy release note.

To Add the Word 2000 Macro Security Certificate functionality from the Office 2000 CD

This is the formal Office 2000 Setup approach, which we do not particularly recommend.

• 1. Run setup.exe from your Office 2000 CD - since you have already installed Office 2000, the setup should run in Maintenance Mode.
• 2. Select Add or Remove Features.
• 3. Expand the Office Tools tree from Selecting Features.
• 4. Left-click on the "Digital Signature for VBA Projects" option, so you get the list of choices.
• 5. Select Run All from CD.
• 6. Click the Update Now button in the lower right corner.
• 7. Restart the Doc-To-Help 2000 setup.

Setup Seems to Run Slowly or Hangs on NT Server Machines

When you run the master setup for Doc-To-Help 2000 and use it to run the individual product setups, you may find those child processes are running extremely slowly, possibly to the point where they appear to have stopped. We have found that this usually only happens if you are installing to an NT Server machine.

Our recommendation in this case is to skip the master setup. If you view the Doc-To-Help 2000 CD in Explorer, you will see that it has subfolders for each individual product. You can open those subfolders and double-click the setup.exe file for each individual product.

The folder names should be self-explanatory: D2H5 is Doc-To-Help 2000, AW3 is AnswerWorks 3.0 and so on
