As I had the problem of not being able to see the toolbar in Word 2007 (SP1) after installing SDLX Trados FL 2007 SP1 on a Windows Vista (Ultimate), I got my husband to dig into it and find a solution.

Please do not ask me for support on this though - it was my husband who put together this solution, it worked in my case, and besids he charges a hefty hourly rate for his computer consulting services!
Hopefully though this helps just one person out there who is suffering the same fate as I was ... so here goes:
SOLUTION
=======
First make sure Word 2007 is not open (if it is, close it !!)
Copy these files:
MultiTerm7.dotm
TRADOS8.dotm
From following directory:
C:\Program Files\SDL International\T2007_FL\TT\Templates
To this one (where is your login/user name on your computer):
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP
Ensure that the files you have copied are NOT read only (right click them in \STARTUP directory ie where you have copied them to, select properties, and if there is one, remove the tick from read only box at bottom of the General tab).
Now open Word 2007, and if the menus do not automatically appear, then follow the next set of instructions (... which were stolen/adapted from post http://www.proz.com/topic/83164 - credit for this bit goes to the folk over there).
Click on the Office button and select "Word Options" on the bottom right corner of the menu.
Select "Add ins" from the menu.
Where you see "COM Addins" next to the "Manage:" option at the bottom this window, click on the the drop down menu and then select "Templates". Now hit the big "Go" button.
A new window opens, you should now see the TRADOS8.dotm and Multiterm7.dotm listed in the "Global Templates and Addins section". If these two files are not selected (ticked), then select them and press "OK".
... now when you close Word 2007 and re-open it, you should see both menus as you would expect. ▲ Collapse

Could anyone help me find the location of Multiterm7.dotm file? Do I need to follow any special installation procedures in order to have the file installed on my PC?
TIA,

TOPIC STARTER | Adding the missing Multiterm Menu in Word 2007 | Jan 5, 2008 |
Hi,
According to my husband (who knows more about these things than I do) it should be in one of the following locations:
\SDLMT\Products\SDL MultiTerm 2007 Desktop\SupportFiles\Program Files\SDL International\MultiTerm 2007\Templates
or
\SDLMT\Products\SDL MultiTerm 2007 Desktop\SupportFiles\Template2007
Where is the directory you specified the Multiterm installation files should be extracted to at the start of the installation process.

Thank you, Elizabeth, and to your husband as well.
I had been away for a while so I could not respond to your posting earlier. But I have tried out your suggestion, and it worked perfectly! Thank you so much! Now I have the MultiTerm menu in my Word 2007.
Thanks again,
Nozomi

Hi S,
I use Word 2007, so the "Options" menu has changed. As far as I remember, you would need choose "Tools" -> "Options" from the menu in Word 2003.
Hope that helps.

Dear Elizabeth,
It really didn't work for me, but thanks anyway, I guess I am facing a bug that has to do with my Windows XP...
best regards,

Hello everybody,
Thanx in advance!
I am with Vista and Word 2007, Trados 7.
I tried and copied Trados7.dot file in Startup forlder of Word and in all other possible template locations, so now when I open Word 2007 I see only Trados commands, like normal in Add-ins section, but when I try to open a segment for translation, nothing happens.
Please advice.
Thank you!
