Installation Notes (Windows)

Administrator Privileges

Efofex products require Administrator privileges in order to install.  If you are installing the software on a networked computer the software will probably need to be installed by your IT coordinator.  You do NOT need administrator privileges to run Efofex products normally.

 

 

Integrating Efofex Products into Word (Windows)

Integrating into Word is required to use our new MultiDocs system or if you wish to use our old, Classic Mode system. The MultiDocs Editions of our downloads perform Word integration automatically.

 

Many users will want to integrate our products into Word. From December 2015, we are no longer able to perform this integration for All Users of a computer due to security changes implemented by Microsoft. For this reason, we have removed the integration from the installer and integration is now performed by the user as needed.

 

Users can choose integrate from the Help menu at any time.

Integrating will place a copy of the Efofex dotm files (stored in the Efofex program subdirectory) into the Word startup location in the User’s Roaming profile

 

(usually C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\Startup)

 

This process does not require administrator permissions. The template files will be loaded the next time Word starts.

 

From a support point of view, the only involvement you are likely to have is to remind users to use the Manage Word Integration option from the Help menu.
