I now have Word 2016 and have downloaded and executed the e-Sword macro installation file.

 

e-sword.dot file is located here: C:\Users\Adam Olive\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP\

 

and the e-Sword.dll file is here: C:\Program Files (x86)\e-Sword\
 

The icons are there but the graphics are not visible and they don't function.

 

Also when I go to Word Options then Add-ins it is listed under 'Active Application Add-ins' as a Template Type.

 

Any suggestions ? Move them to a new file locations?

In the Word window at the top is a line of "tabs" the last one shows a stylized light bulb with the caption "Tell me what you want to do", click there and enter Add-Ins into the pop up window and select "Get Help on add -ins", select "View, Manage, and install Add-ins in Office Programs"

 

That brings up a fairly comprehensive set of instructions.

 

HTH,

Not really, since I cannot duplicate the problem.  The next idea is to have you bypass the problem by using e-Sword HotKey 3.75 4/17/2016 it allows you to access the functionality of the macros even though they won't load into Word.  It is worth a shot. Below is the link to the program, and the blurb telling what it does and how to use it.  It is mainly designed to allow you to use the macros in programs other than Word, but it works there as well.

E-Sword HotKey works in conjunction with E-Sword on Microsoft Windows. With E-Sword running, while working in any other program, such as Mozilla Firefox, IE, MS-Word, WordPad, Adobe PDF file, etc, select a section of text that contains a Bible Text Reference, press the Ctrl key and C (Ctrl+C) to copy the selected text to the Windows Clipboard, then press the F11 key, the default hot key, which HotKey is looking for. HotKey then searches for the first Bible Text Reference, formats it some, then brings E-Sword to the front and tells E-Sword to look up the text. That is all that E-Sword HotKey does. Currently it works for English Bible book names and abbreviations only. Currently, no Bible chapter and verse validation is performed by HotKey. If a Reference is invalid, E-Sword will let you know!

HotKey allows you to change the hot key that HotKey will respond to. Click the Hotkey menu, and then select which modification keys (Ctrl, Alt, Shift) that you would like your new hot key to have, and press the key on the keyboard you want to use for your hot key. Then Click the OK button on the key selection form.

E-Sword HotKey has 2 modes of operation, Simple, and Search.
-- Simple mode: HotKey only removes formating that E-Sword will not recognize, such as periods and parentheses. You must select the Bible reference fairly accurately for Simple mode to work correctly.
-- Search mode: HotKey actively searches for the first recognizable Bible reference and sends that to E-Sword. You only need to be sure to include the Bible reference in your selected text. For this mode to work, HotKey has a list of Bible book names and common abbreviations. You can edit this list to add or remove abbreviations to match your needs. USE SEARCH MODE for easy of use...

New for version 3 of e-Sword HotKey. If you have installed e-Sword Macros on your system (see http://www.e-sword.net/extras.html), then e-Sword HotKey will create a new menu item called "Macro" which will interface with e-Sword Macros. Hightlight a section of your document that contains scripture references and copy it to the clipboard. Press the Macro HotKey (default=Ctrl+')(control quote), and HotKey will search the selected text, find the scripture references, and then look them up in e-Sword in the currently selected Bible version as set by HotKey (not e-Sword) and place the references back into the Windows clipboard. You can then paste them into your current working document if it is an text editor, or email client program.

What's New in Version 3.75 4/17/2016 (See full changelog)
  • ========================================
  • Version 3.75 4/17/2016
  • ========================================
  • -- New - Major internal reworking of the program. "HotKeys" menu now shows the associated hotkey conbination. The choosing and setting of a hotkey has been changed. Now just press the key combination you desire and click "Register" to set that combination. Clicking "Unregister" removes that hotkey from action. Cancel returns to the prior state of that key.
  • -- New - Expanded support for the EGW FolioViews application

I have just installed Office 2016 32-bit in place of the 64-bit version and everything works good again.
