XpressDox Docussembly™ document assembly novice

XpressDox is an add-in for Microsoft® Office Word 2003 and Word 2007, which enables you to use Word to perform both simple and complex document assembly operations. (An add-in is software that extends the capabilities of a larger program.)

Before you download XpressDox you need to check which version of Word you use. Why? Because Word 2003 and Word 2007 operate differently with regard to add-ins and toolbars, we’ve created a version of XpressDox specific to each. This will enable you to get the most out of XpressDox for the version of Word you use.

OK, so how do I check which version of Word I have?

It’s fairly straight forward. If you don’t see the Help option in the menu bar it’s a strong clue you have Word 2007. Confirm this by pressing the Office button, select Word Options, then Resources. Press the About button and the dialog that pops up should start with this text: Microsoft® Office Word 2007…

If you have the Help option in your Word toolbar you need to check that it’s Word 2003, not an earlier version of Word. Why does this matter? Well, XpressDox uses Word’s XML format for its templates, and Word 2003 is the first version to produce this XML format.

Select the Help option from the menu, choose About Microsoft Office Word, and check that the text in the dialog which pops up starts with: Microsoft® Office Word 2003…

Good to go
