90% macro works. Package adapts at the request of the user.

In other versions of Word the package has not been tested. Macro language is universal for all versions of Word. In addition, the package is protected from changes in the regional settings of the operating system (see the section "Regional and language options").

Why there is no trial version?

Firstly, the project code is completely open, in cognitive and educational purposes as well as for security - anyone can see what the macros do. Secondly, Word doesn't allow to protect reliably a code of macros and to do completely closed project I don't want (see first). I will note that there is an opportunity to receive as separately any macro, and the full current version of a package. For testing, it is possible to send a document sample. I will return the processed macro interesting you.

How to see the macros?

Macros are not available if you have installed package "Metodichka" as an add-on, that is the standard, as described in the instructions. Hidden macros - a characteristic of all add-ins, so is the way Word. Always visible macros open documents and Normal template (usually your macros here). To see the add-in macros, and this case is a package "Metodichka", it is necessary to open the file in Word as a normal document. In a "Metodichka" package, the special button is provided: group "Macro" > menu "Help" > point "Package Metodichka template". This macro allows you to quickly open the package file without a long search in the Startup folder. Now, the macros from the package are available, you can see the code. Universal way to see macros of any document: start Word > menu "File" > point "Open" > chose the file > button "Open" > the document opened > passed in the VBA editor (Alt + F11) > watch macros.

Can I edit the macro code?

It is possible and even necessary, if you personally it will be useful, i.e., for personal purposes. Just try to stick to the rules "do no harm" in relation to the project as a whole.

Do I need Internet access to run macros?

Package "Metodichka" does not require a connection to the Internet, does not receive or send any information out. Outside the package "Metodichka", there are macros that use the Internet, due to the nature of its work. For example, the macro "Online translation" in the "Create" section.

Whether macro security?

The best guarantee of security - it is open source package. Macros in package "Metodichka" work exclusively within the framework of tasks. The package doesn't make any hidden labels and manipulations.

Protection reports virus

When your antivirus program reports that you have a macro virus in your document, contact support for this program. I can only guess why the defense sees a virus where it doesn't exist. The antivirus can simply warn you, can lock a file, can remove macros at all, so say "cure". I think it's a routine reinsurance, that the virus is justified. If you know these macros, or if you trust the macro author, add a "dangerous" file to the exception and continue to work.
