Depending on the version of Microsoft Office you are currently using, the location of the Startup folder differs.

To locate the correct Startup folder from within Word:

  1. On the Tools menu, click Options.

  2. Click the File Locations tab. Click Startup in the box, and then click Modify to view the exact location.

Search for the GhostFill template in Windows Explorer. The name of the file differs depending on the version of GhostFIll you are using:

 

VERSION

TEMPLATE

GhostFill 4

GhostFill4.dot

GhostFill 2001

GhostFill2001.dot

GhostFill 2.5

GhostFill97.dot

 

Copy the appropriate file into the Startup folder. When you reopen Word, the GhostFill toolbar and menu are visible.
