The toolkit is a .ZIP file. You may have your File Types set incorrectly in Folder options or you may not have WinZip installed.

See the Windows Help file. [ Start-button... Help... type in File Types...
click on changing] and you should see help like this.

Notes

b.. After you specify a new action, it appears on the shortcut menu when you right-click a file with the associated extension.

c.. In the Add New File Type dialog box, you can click Browse to find the program you want to specify for the action.

d.. All files that have the file name extension use the icon and commands that you define.

Make a folder called "templates" within your "My Documents" folder..

Double click the downloaded Toolkit and Winzip should open it. Extract all the toolkit files into your
My Documents/Templates
folder.

Open Word 2000, drop down the Tools menu and select Options. In the options box select the File Locations tab. Highlight Workgroup Templates and select Modify.

Within the modify box drop down the Look In list and navigate it to your My Documents/Templates folder. Click OK. The result should be that Workgroup Templates is pointing to the folder with the Scripting templates in it.

OK all the tools menu stuff. The system is ready for use.

=====
To start a new script, in Word 2000, drop down the File menu, select New, then select the appropriate template, e.g. film4.

You will then get prompts for Film Title and Character names etc.

There are more details in the .doc files which unpacked with the toolkit.
