Installing Sermon Outliner

1. Open My Computer and go to your My Documents folder and then create a new folder called "Sermon Outliner Installation Files." It does really matter where you create this folder or what you call it (as long as it is not "SermonOutliner"). You just need somewhere to download Sermon Outliner.

2. Download the following files "sermonoutliner.exe" and "Sermon Outliner.dot" Simply click on the two links below and Save them to the new folder you created.

 

sermonoutliner.exe

Sermon Outliner.dot

 

3. Open My Computer and go to the folder where you saved these files. Now double click on the file "sermonoutliner.exe" and it will install all the folders and files on your C drive.

4. Now you need to copy all the macros from the Sermon Outliner.dot template onto your Normal template. To do this:

 

a) Open Word, click on the Tools menu, go down to Macro, and then click on "Macros." Now click on the "Organizer" button.

b) In the right panel you will see a heading that says, "Macro Project Items available in:" In the box below you will see it has something like "Normal.dot (global template)"

c) In the left panel, click on the "Close File" button. It now says "Open File...". Click on it again and navigate to the folder where you saved the "Sermon Outliner.dot" file. Double click on it.

d) You will now see that the window in the left panel is filled with a list of the macros that make up Sermon Outliner. You you to highlight them all and then click on the Copy button in middle of the two panels. You could do this one at a time but the quickest way is to highlight the first item, scroll down to the bottom of the list, hold the shift button down on your keyboard, and then click on the last item. They should all be highlighted and you just need to click on the Copy button.

 

5. Close all the windows and then close word. Open Word and the SOT button should appear in the first position on the Standard toolbar.

 

That's it!
