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

    Intel PC with Pentium (586) or later processor, Windows 98 through Windows 7, Microsoft Word 97 through Word 2003. Please see Special Instructions above for Windows Vista / Windows 7 prior to downloading and installing.

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

    IMPORTANT: If you have another Third Party speller currently installed, uninstall that speller before installing the Sylvan spell checker.

    1) If you are running Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Professional, Vista or Windows 7 you may need to 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 the Download link above and choose a folder on your C: drive to save the installation file. Internet Explorer allows you to choose the location of the download. Using your mouse pointer, choose the folder for download. Example: c:\temp

    5) When the download is complete, close Internet Explorer. Locate the folder where you saved Sylspell.exe. Right click Sylspell.exe, select Properties and Unblock the file if necessary. Select the Compatibility tab and uncheck the box if Microsoft selected a compatibility option. Click Apply, OK and close the dialog box. Double click Sylspell.exe to run the installation program. Enter the Order Number, Product ID and Password that you received in your Sylvan Product Authorization email. If you are using the Demo version, leave the Order Number, Product ID and Password fields blank. Sylspell will self install to Program Files\Sylvan\MedPharm or Program Files (x86)\Sylvan\MedPharm if you have Windows 7.

    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 Sylspell.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.

    6) 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. Choose the Spelling options that you wish to use. Sylvan does not set those options for you. Close Word and reopen.

    7) 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 and retain your install authorization, do the following steps:


    1) If you are running Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Professional, Vista or Windows 7 you may need to 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 the Uninstall by running the Sylspell.exe program in the folder where you downloaded and saved it or by selecting "Sylvan MedPharm Speller" in the "Add/Remove Programs" utility in Windows "Control Panel".

    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. If you are connecting to the Internet through a proxy server, be sure that the proxy firewall and content screening permit connection to the Sylvan server.


    3) Product registration via the Internet can sometimes be blocked 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 :::::::::::::::


    The Sylvan Software Complete Medical / Pharmaceutical Spell Checker requires registration via the Internet to operate. While the number of times the same product can be registered is limited, Sylvan has made every effort to preserve your allotted registrations so that you can move the software to other computers as needed.


    When you Uninstall the Spell Checker, be sure to establish an internet connection. The Uninstaller will automatically contact the Sylvan Registration Server and attempt to restore your authorization to the database. Then, when you reinstall the software on another system, it will be there for you to use again.
