To which folder did you copy/install the tool? I think you have to
put it in the Startup folder for Word in order to see any menu
entries.

I may misremember, though. There was a chapter John McGhie wrote for
our Word book (German market) that discussed how to use the tool
with more recent versions of Word, and it does work. It's just not
integrated as closely with the Word application window.

Let's see, here's what we say, more or less: MSFilter.exe was
designed to work with Word 2000, and will only install if Office
2000 is present on the machine(!); that may explain why you aren't
seeing anything - it may not have installed.

You don't HAVE to install it, however. You can copy MSFilter.exe to
whereever you want to have it, then create a shortcut to it in the
Start/Programs list. MSFilter.dot, the addin template, you should
put in the Startup folder (as I mentioned, above), or you need to
load it explicitly via Tools/Templates and Addins, when you want to
use it.
