    As it is an add-on to Office, I suppose you need to go into one of the applications (Word for example) and see if the templates are there. Or look under "Tools" - "Add ins" and check the associated box to install?

    after you have extracted the 18 zip files arnt there a .exe (Application File) that you click on and install? If not what sort of files are they you have extracted?

    As it's part of office you may have to specify where your office installation is.

    Normally it will be found at:

    c:/programe files/office/officeXX(this is the two digits which tell what version of office you have)

    Alternatively, create a file on the desktop and extract the files to the folder.

    It should tell you how to install the add on.

    I was copying and pasting the files to word so i could post on here because i could Not find an .exe on the end of a file BUT when i had pasted to word it showed up the .exe file so i went back to the files and click on the file that had the same name but without the exe showing and now i have the programe running Thank you again

    You probably have the hide known file extensions setting turned on.
