Word 2007 sometimes causes Pathagoras (and other add-ins) to stop working for no apparent reason.

   If Pathagoras has  'disappeared,' it is a simple matter of reminding Word that it really does exist. Here are the steps for Word2007 installations. (If you have an earlier version of Word, click here for the reconnect steps.)

Figure 1. The Word Options Screen.  The Add-ins button is the 7th item down at the left.

 

2.  After you click the Add-ins button, the View and manage Microsoft Office add-ins screen will appear.  You should see a screen similar to Figure 2 below.

Figure 2. The 'View and manage Microsoft Office add-ins' Screen.
3. At the bottom, where the "Manage:" list is maintained,  select "Word Add-ins" and then press the <Go...> button. You should see a screen similar to Figure 3 below.

(If after pressing the <Go. . .> button, Pathagoras does not appear in the list of Add-ins, proceed to step 5).

4.  Check the Pathagoras.dot entry if not checked.

5.  If you do not see Pathagoras in the above screens, return to the 'View and Manage Microsoft Add-ins' page (Figure 2) and select the "Disabled Add-ins" from the "Manage" list (at the bottom of the screen). Activate Pathagoras. You may be advised that Pathagoras is disabled because is 'misbehaved' in the last session. Click <OK> to activate Pathagoras again.
