System Requirements ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Intel PC with Pentium (586) or later processor,Windows 98 or later version, Microsoft Word 97 or later version


Installation ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

1) If you are running Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP Professional, log into your system as Administrator.

2) To install your new Sylvan Spell Checker, it is best to close other programs, especially virus software.

3) Establish an Internet connection if you are not already on-line.

4) Click on the link to download your Complete Medical/Pharmaceutical spell checker. Internet Explorer allows you to choose the location of the download. Using your mouse pointer, choose the folder for download. Example: c:\temp. DO NOT Download items to your Desktop! Download to a folder on your hard drive.

5) When the download is complete, close the Internet Explorer dialog box. Double click on Sylspell19.exe. Enter the Order Number, Product ID and Password that you received in your Sylvan Product Authorization email. Sylspell will self install to Program Files\Sylvan\MedPharm.

6) If you received your Sylvan Spell Checker on a CD, the installation program should start automatically. If it does not, click the "Start" button on your taskbar, select "Run" and then click on the "Browse" button. Double click on your CD drive in the Files dialog and then double click on the Sylspell19.exe program file.

7) Follow the instructions on the Installer windows and in the "Sylvan OnLine Product Registration" dialog, enter the Product ID, Order #, and Password that you received either with your CD or by email from Sylvan Software

NOTE: If you purchased on-line and have not yet received your email, you can leave these boxes blank for now and the product will run for approximately 30 days. When your Sylvan email arrives, you run the Sylspell19.exe file again, select the "Upgrade" option, and enter the registration information while on-line.

IMPORTANT: The Spell Checker must be registered to continue to run after the initial "Demo" period of approximately 30 days. During this period, you will have to be logged into your computer as Administrator (Win2000 and Win-XP Professional editions)

8) Configuring Microsoft Word - To use your new Sylvan Spell Checker, you only need to select it when you run Word again. To do this, start Word for Windows and click on the Tools item on the Menu Bar. Next select Options in the drop down menu, select Spelling. Under Speller Options, locate the option called Speller Type which will give you a list of Spell Checkers that are installed. The Normal option in the list is the original Spell Checker that came with Word for Windows. Select Medical. The Speller Type option only appears when more than one Spell Checker has been installed on your system. You may need to close Word and reopen Word to put the new speller in memory.

You may also need to select the other options under Spelling that you wish to use. Sylvan does not set those options for you.

9) The Sylvan installation is now complete and you can switch back and forth between the installed Spell Checkers (should you ever want to) by just selecting the Speller Type of your choice. Sylvan Spell Checkers also include a Modern English Language Dictionary.


Uninstalling ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


To Uninstall your Sylvan Spell Checker, do the following steps:


1) If you are running Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP Professional, log into your system as Administrator.


2) Establish an Internet connection if you are not already on-line.


3) Open Microsoft Word and click on the "Tools" menu bar item. Select "Options" and then the Spelling options tab. Select the "Normal" Spelling Type and then close Word.


4) You can either start Uninstallation by running the Sylspell19.exe program or by selecting "Sylvan MedPharm Speller" in the "Add/Remove Programs" utility in the Windows "Settings / Control Panel" utility.


Installation Troubleshooting :::::::::::::::::


Generally, installation of the Spell Checker is trouble free. However, there are a couple of issues that can sometimes cause problems, mostly having to do with the security settings for your system. Sylvan respects your security measures and the installer takes no actions to alter them.


1) The installer must write some values to your system Registry to tell Word that the Speller is available for use. Be sure that you have full Administrator privileges on your system during installation


2) Some system security software, when properly doing its job, can prevent the installer from writing the necessary Registry entries and even prevent the writing of needed system files. You may want to disable such software for the few minutes it takes to install the Spell Checker.


3) Product registration via the Internet can sometimes be block by Firewall software. If you are using a Firewall you will need to allow the "InstallShield Setup Engine" to have access to the net, for just a few moments, during both installation and uninstallation.


4) During installation you may receive an alert regarding a cookie. This is a session tracking cookie only and contains no personal nor tracking content and should be allowed.


5) The "Demo" mode of this software does not run properly except when you are logged into your system as Administrator.


6) Restricted Users on Windows 2000 and Windows XP Professional editions may not find the Medical Speller type available in the Tools/Spelling options page. This can often be corrected by granting "Full Control" permissions to the Restricted User account for the following Registry Key:


HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\Spelling


Product Authorization Notes :::::::::::::::
