MS-Office Templates and Macros

  • Templates
    • A number of MS-Office-templates (and Add-ins) have been set up and/or programmed to facilitate teaching and learning as well as administration in the language services environment.
    • The templates can be accessed in the language services network environment to base documents on (browse to the template in explorer, then double click the template).
    • Documents that are based on language services templates can be taken outside the language services network environment. While some template-features (i.e. the macros) will be (temporarily, until the document is brought back into the language services network environment) lost, as long as the document cannot access the template file, the instructor or student written text will not.
    • Prerequisites for the template macro code to work
      • Do this once: in MS-Office, menu:tools / macros / macro security needs be set  to “medium”, then “ok” – otherwise you will see this warning:
      • Do this every time: click “enable” when opening a document form a trusted source, like based on one of your templates:
  • Add-ins
    • Some customizations required the installation of add-ins. These add-ins have been only installed on the computers where they are needed (i.e. the instructor computer).
    • PowerPoint HALE Lookup Menu Add-in
      • The custom-made consoleadd-in.ppa has been added to the MGB-36 TEACHER COMPUTER and the code in consoleadd-in.reg added to the MGB-36 TEACHER COMPUTER’s registry to load the menu add-in upon startup of PowerPoint on the TEACHER COMPUTER.
