Add-In area doesn't persist

[David Eunice]

Hi everyone,

After finding that OmegaT+ didn't really agree with me,
following Charles Aschmann's presentation at Project
Nagoya, I thought Felix might be the way to go.

Ryan is currently advising me how to get it going
on my main work system, where MS-Office doesn't
like the Felix dlls.

Meanwhile, I am running the trial on my laptop,
which has Word 2010 running under XP.

I would much prefer it if the Felix work area would
persist after I use it, but it disappears when I go
to the MS-Word pane: I have to keep clicking
the Add-In tab to get access.

I've rooted round the net, but haven't been able
to come up with effective search terms to find a fix.

If anyone has come across this problem and knows
what is probably the simple solution, please tell!

Regards,

David

You could add the toolbar and/or menu to the Quick Access toolbar. On
the Add-Ins tab, right click on the Felix menu or toolbar, and select
"Add Group to Quick Access Toolbar."

You can also use the keyboard shortcuts when the Add-Ins pane isn't
visible.

Thanks for the tip, but but that also involves repeatedly opening
the Felix command area.

In the demo, the icons for next segment, add, etc remain visible all
the time.
When I click on one, the area immediately disappears.
Is there some setting I can change?

I look forward to becoming more familiar with the shortcuts when
I get Felix working on my dual-monitor work system.

Most of the demos still use Office 2003.

Unfortunately (to some), the Office interface completely changed in version
2007 -- from the old menu/toolbar paradigm, and to a "ribbon" paradigm.

Microsoft assures us vehemently that this is better, and fails to provide a
setting to go back to the old interface for our own good; kind of software
tough love.

For Felix, this means that it now has to be on its own ribbon; either a new
Felix ribbon, or in the Add-Ins ribbon like now (this is the Microsoft
recommendation, btw).

If you really hate the new interface, there is an add-in that will simulate
it in 2007/2010, although I haven't tried it out and don't know if the Felix
menu/toolbar will appear properly.
