Installing for Office on Win 7 x64

[Jeremy Angel]

Hi, fellow Felix fans,

I've just bought a new Win 7 x64 laptop with Office 2010. I've
installed the latest version of Felix, but am having trouble
installing the add-in for Word.
It isn't among the list of add-ins, and when I try to add
WordAssist.dll (as a COM add-in?), I get the message:
有効なOfficeアドインではありません
I've searched this list and the manual. but can't find any relevant info.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Are you using the 64-bit version of Office? Existing Office add-ins are not
compatible with the 64-bit version of office.

See this web page for details:

I've been working on a 64-bit build of the Office add-ins for this purpose,
but further work is needed.

Regards,
Ryan

Thanks for getting back, Ryan.
You're right, it's 64-bit Office 2010, so at least I now know why.

The link you provided suggests that both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of
Office are on the Office 2010 DVD, and also that the 32-bit version
installs by default, so I'm a little confused.
I loaded my DVD to check, but for some reason it's not reading. Maybe
I have to uninstall the current version beforehand. I'll try that
later.
If I can't install a 32-bit version, I guess I'll go back to my Office
2007 32-bit until you've added 64-bit support.
One thing's for sure: I need Felix more than I do Office 2010!

Cheers,

Jeremy

Ryan and others interested,

Just for the record, I uninstalled Office 2010, inserted the DVD, and
the 32-bit version was installed automatically. You need to go to the
64-bit folder to install the 64-bit version.
And having installed Office 2010 32-bit, Felix is right where it
should be. お騒がせしました！そしてありがとう！

I remember reading somewhere that MS highly recommends the 32 bit
version even on 64 bit systems. I assume that there are bugs in the 64
bit version. The notice said that the 64 bit version should only be used
where absolutely necessary.
