Unable to install plugin Word

[ddejonghe]

Hi,

I downloaded beyond compare. Looks great but, when I try to install the word plugin, it asks me to :

Run Beyond Compare and from the "Tools" menu select "Import Settings...".

3) In "Select import file", enter the name of the rules file:
C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 2\MSWord\MSWord.xml

but I do not see the menu tools, import settings... :-(

Have you registered? I don't believe plugins will work unless you pay the (very reasonable) license fee and get a key to unlock BC's extra features.

Hi!

Well, it is not an original file-viewer plug-in but a converting-tool when opening DOC-files in a rules-based session. AFAIK you need not to register to use it.

The menu-entry you are looking for is in the 'Extras' menu. Important: Start Beyond Compare from the Windows-start-menu without any files or by comparing two directories. Else you won't see these entries ...

Bye

Import Settings can be found under the Tools menu in the <font color="red">Folder Viewer</font>.

Add-on Rules, like MSWord, can be imported and exported so that users can share File Viewer Rules. You can use them even if you haven't registered yet.
