Overview
Important licensing note: TexasBarBooks products may be installed on a network only if all users of that product are licensed users. See the terms of the TexasBarBooks standard digital product License and Limited Warranty for more details. The current owner of a book or manual may purchase additional and entity licenses for the digital product at special prices. An entity license allows a firm to place the digital product's contents on the firm's intranet. To find out more, go to http://TexasBarBooks.net/additional-licenses/.
Products that use the toolbar: The TexasBarBooks Navigational Toolbar is currently included with the digital products for the Texas Family Law Practice Manual, third edition; the Texas Real Estate Forms Manual, second edition; and the Texas Collections Manual, fourth edition. Only those manuals' word-processing forms are currently designed for use with the toolbar. The word-processing forms for other TexasBarBooks forms manuals will be upgraded to be able to use the toolbar as new editions of those manuals are published.
Toolbar versions and compatibility: The 2011 version of the TexasBarBooks Navigational Toolbar, included with digital products for the Texas Real Estate Forms Manual, second edition, and the Texas Collections Manual, fourth edition, includes the additional Clause Selector tool, for use with those manuals' word-processing forms that are collections of clauses. The 2011 version does not, however, include the WordPerfect version of the toolbar, because neither of those digital products include forms in WordPerfect.
Conversly, the 2010 version of the toolbar, included with the digital product for the Texas Family Law Practice Manual, third edition, was developed before and does not include the Clause Selector tool but does include toolbar versions for both Word and WordPerfect.
Other than these differences, the 2010 and 2011 versions of the toolbar are compatible across manuals, and a single toolbar installation is usually all that is necessary, even if several toolbar-compatible TexasBarBooks digital products are installed.
If you need both the Clause Selector tool and the WordPerfect version of the toolbar (for example, your firm has installed or is installing the digital products for both the Texas Family Law Practice Manual, third edition, and the Texas Real Estate Forms Manual, second edition, and uses both Word and WordPerfect), you should install the 2011 version of the Word toolbar but also the 2010 version of the WordPerfect toolbar.
Stand-alone toolbar installation files: Network administrators will probably want to use one or more of the stand-alone toolbar installation files (see the section immediately below) to install the toolbar on network computers. The sections on this page following that one are for informational purposes, to help network administrators better understand how the toolbar files work and enable administrators to better choose exactly how and where they want to install the toolbar files for their users.

Stand-alone toolbar installation files
See other sections below for details on versions of word processors compatible with the toolbars and where the toolbar files install.
- Automatic installation (Windows-only EXE files)
The stand-alone toolbar automatic-installation EXE files, when run, install only the TexasBarBooks Navigational Toolbar on a PC and create an uninstall program that allows the user to remove the toolbar.
These programs are useful to a network administrator who plans to install on a network a TexasBarBooks digital product designed for use with the Navigational Toolbar and then go from PC to PC to install the toolbar on each so that those PCs can take full advantage of the network-installed digital product.
- 2010 version
The Texas Family Law Practice Manual, third edition, digital product includes the 2010 version of the toolbar, which does not include the Clause Selector tool but which does include both Word and WordPerfect toolbar versions. The 2010 version of the stand-alone toolbar automatic-installation EXE file allows the user to choose whether to install the Word version of the toolbar, the WordPerfect version, or both.
Click here to download the 2010 version of the stand-alone toolbar automatic-installation EXE file.
- 2011 version
The Texas Real Estate Forms Manual, second edition, and Texas Collections Manual, fourth edition, digital products include the 2011 version of the toolbar, which includes only the Word toolbar version but also includes the Clause Selector tool.
Click here to download the 2011 version of the stand-alone toolbar automatic-installation EXE file.
- Manual installation (ZIP file)
Also available is the stand-alone toolbar manual-installation ZIP file, which includes all the 2011 versions of the Word macro files and the 2010 versions of the WordPerfect macro files for the toolbars, the macro installation files for manually installing the toolbars (see the cautions below), toolbar reference guides, and a shortcut to the online toolbar tutorials.
The contents of the ZIP file are useful to a network administrator who plans to author a script to push the toolbar macro files out to the individual computers or to individual user profiles.

Software required
The TexasBarBooks Navigational Toolbar is specifically designed for Word versions 2000 through 2007 and WordPerfect* versions 10.0 through X5.
* For WordPerfect version 10 or 11, be certain to install any available WordPerfect service packs before installing the WordPerfect version of the Navigational Toolbar. To download WordPerfect service packs, go to http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Corel3/Downloads/SupportDownloads.

Toolbar automatic-installation program overview (Windows-only EXE file)
The Windows automatic-installation files (EXE files) that include the TexasBarBooks Navigational Toolbar (whether for a digital product that includes the new Navigational Toolbar or either of the stand-alone toolbar automatic-installation files) should, when run on a PC, automatically install the toolbar(s) for the latest version(s) of Word, WordPerfect, or both installed on that PC that are compatible with the toolbar(s) included.
Although the 2010 version of the stand-alone toolbar EXE file allows the user to choose whether to install the Word toolbar, the WordPerfect toolbar, or both, the EXE files for digital products are limited to either the Word version of the product and toolbar or the WordPerfect version of the product and toolbar.
To install a Word-WordPerfect combination version of the digital product that also includes both word processors' toolbars, run both digital product EXE files on the desired PC. As long as both the Word installation and the WordPerfect installation are instructed to install the digital product at the same location, files common to both installations (for example, the PDF files of the manual itself) will overwrite themselves, and a single, combined version of the digital product will exist in a single parent folder named for that product. Regardless of where the digital product is instructed to install, however, the toolbar files will install at the default toolbar installation locations (see below).
To install only the toolbars on the desired PC but not the digital product, use one or both of the stand-alone toolbar automatic-installation programs, which also install the toolbar files at default toolbar installation locations (see below).
Note: The digital product for the Texas Family Law Practice Manual, third edition, is the only one that includes WordPerfect forms designed for use with the Navigational Toolbar. The digital products for the Texas Real Estate Forms Manual, second edition, and the Texas Collections Manual, fourth edition, include only Word versions of word-processing forms, not WordPerfect versions.

Product/toolbar uninstallation program overview (Windows-only EXE file)
Although the digital product installation and its toolbar installation are specific to the version (Word versus WordPerfect) of the automatic-installation EXE file run on a PC, a digital product's uninstall EXE program will uninstall the entire digital product and both toolbars. That is, even if both the Word version and the WordPerfect version of a digital product have been installed, that digital product will still have only a single uninstallation program for the entire digital product and both toolbars.
The digital product's uninstallation program offers the user the choice of uninstalling only the digital product or both the digital product and the toolbar(s). The default is to uninstall the digital product but not the toolbar(s). This design allows a user to uninstall one TexasBarBooks digital product that uses the toolbar but leave the toolbar in place for use with any other TexasBarBooks digital products that are installed that also use the toolbar.
The stand-alone toolbar automatic-installation program creates its own uninstallation program, which allows the user to uninstall only the toolbar(s).

Toolbar installation defaults and options
- Automatic installation (using the EXE files)—system-level installation
The automatic-installation files (EXE files) install the toolbar files by default at the system level, inside the Program Files folder. The Word version of the toolbar consists of a single installed file, and the WordPerfect version of the toolbar consists of ten installed files.
- Microsoft Word: The Word toolbar macro file named "TBB Forms.dot" is installed for Word versions 2000 through 2003, and the file named "TBB Forms.dotm" is installed for Word version 2007, each inside the Program Files folder, inside the STARTUP subfolder for that particular version of Microsoft Office.
-
WordPerfect: The following files are installed for the WordPerfect toolbar, in the Program Files folder, inside the Macros\WPWin\ subfolder for that particular version of WordPerfect: "TBB Forms Overview.wpd," "tbbdelete.wcm," "TBBhelp.wcm," "TBBhide.wcm," "TBBNextInstruction.wcm," "TBBnextPrompt.wcm," "TBBooks.wpt," "TBBprint.wcm," "TBBred.wcm," and "TBBunhide.wcm."
The "TBB Forms Overview.wpd" file is a user key for the toolbar buttons and will open in WordPerfect when the user clicks the "TBBooks Forms" button on the toolbar.
The advantage of system-level toolbar installation is that the toolbar will be available every time the word processor on that computer is launched, regardless of which user is logged in.
- Manual installation (using the ZIP files)
- Organization and location of macro files
The toolbar macro files themselves, the macro installation files for manually installing the toolbars (see the cautions below), toolbar reference guides, and a shortcut to the online toolbar tutorial are included in subfolders of the digital product's extracted ZIP manual-installation files* as well as in the stand-alone toolbar ZIP file. For example, the manual-installation toolbar files for the Texas Family Law Practice Manual, third edition, are included at the following locations in its extracted manual-installation ZIP files:
Texas Family Law Practice Manual 2010\Forms\WORD\_Navigational Toolbar\Word 1997_2003 resources\
Texas Family Law Practice Manual 2010\Forms\WORD\_Navigational Toolbar\Word 2007 resources\
Texas Family Law Practice Manual 2010\Forms\WP\_Navigational Toolbar\WordPerfect resources\
Included are all the files listed above for the automatic installation, as well as the "TBBInstall2003.cmd" file (to manually install the toolbar for Word versions 2000 through 2003), the "TBBInstall2007.cmd" file (to manually install the toolbar for Word version 2007), and the "TBBinstall.wcm" file (to manually install the toolbar for WordPerfect). The files "TBB Forms 2003 Reference Guide.doc," "TBB Forms 2007 Reference Guide.doc," and "TBB Forms WordPerfect Reference Guide.pdf" provide tips for using those specific toolbars.
* A digital product's manual-installation ZIP files may be downloaded by clicking the "Word" and "WordPerfect" download buttons labelled as "For Mac" on the digital product's download Web page. Although these ZIP files are offered primarily as an alternative for Macintosh users, the ZIP files are compatible with both Macintosh and Windows systems.
- User-level installation using the provided macro installation files
The digital product macro installation files place the toolbar files by default at the user level, inside the Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\ folder for the user logged in at the time the macro installation file is run, inside the word processor's user-specific macro subfolder(s).
To manually install the Word version of the toolbar using the macro installation file, navigate to the extracted ZIP file's subfolder for that version of Word and double-click the "TBBInstall2003.cmd" file or the "TBBInstall2007.cmd" file, as appropriate.
To manually install the WordPerfect version of the toolbar using the macro installation file, follow the instructions below.
- Navigate to the extracted ZIP file's subfolder for the WordPerfect Navigational Toolbar resources and double-click the "TBBinstall.wcm" file.
- WordPerfect should launch and prompt you with a "Select Source Folder" window.
- Use the "Select Source Folder" window to navigate to and select the folder for the WordPerfect Navigational Toolbar resources (the folder that contains the WordPerfect toolbar macro files).
- Click the "Select Folder" button.
- When prompted with the "Ready to Install From" window, click the top button, which should show the path for the WordPerfect Navigational Toolbar resources.
- The toolbar/macro files should install, and the TexasBarBooks Navigational Toolbar should appear with the other toolbars at the top of your WordPerfect window.
- Manual installation using other means
The ZIP file is also, of course, a good resource for the system administrator who plans to push out toolbar macro files to individual computers or user profiles in whatever method works best for the network.
Note: To uninstall a manually installed toolbar, it must also be manually uninstalled. That is, although the user may use the word processor's settings to hide the Navigational Toolbar, to completely uninstall the toolbar, the toolbar files must be manually deleted. Even if the user later runs the digital product's automatic-installation file (the EXE file), the digital product's uninstallation program will not be able to hide or uninstall a manually installed toolbar.
The disadvantage of the user-level toolbar installation is that the toolbar must be installed for each user, even if those users share a single computer.
- Cautions
- The macro manual-installation files install the toolbars at the user level instead of at the system level. If a toolbar is also installed at the system level (for example, from running a digital product's automatic-installation file), the user will be presented with two identical Navigational Toolbars.
- If a Word macro file without a certificate applied is installed at the system level, some versions of Word will warn the user about the macro every time Word is launched and ask whether the user wants to allow the macro to load. Although the State Bar of Texas's certificate is applied to the Word toolbar macro file, network administrators planning to manually install the Word toolbar macro file at the system level should test the installation to ensure users will not be presented with this warning before pushing out the macro file to all users. (Note that the WordPerfect toolbar files don't require a certificate, even if installed at the system level.)
