Overview of Downloading E-Zip Wizard and Your Family Heritage Templates:
1) First, go to the E-Zip wizard web site ( http://www.edisys.com ) Click on the E-zip file you want to download (e-zip wizard) After you complete the form, tell them you are using it for evaluation purposes and select the download site closest to your geographical location. The computer will ask you what you want to do with the file you are about to download. You will get a screen asking whether to open the file or save it to your hard disk. Select "Save file to Disk" (the default) and click "OK". You should see the following on your screen:

2) Next, the computer will ask you, where do you want to put the file you are about to download. You will get a new screen with the words "Save As" in the top left corner. It will be easier to find the files later if you create a new folder and download into it. Click on the up arrow until the "Save In" text shows "My Computer". Double click on your "C" drive to open it. You should see all of the hard drives on your computer. For example: |
3) You need to create a new folder then, download the E-Zip Wizard into it. Click on the folder icon (third button over) in the same row as the words "Save In" to create a new folder. Highlight the text "New folder" and type in the name of the folder as "Heritage". If the folder closes before you get a chance to type in the new name, click on it with your right mouse. Scroll down the list of options and choose "Rename". Type in "Heritage" and click outside the name box to complete. Then, double click on the "Heritage" folder to open it. There will be nothing in the folder and the screen will be blank. Click "Save" and the process of downloading the E-zip wizard software into your "Heritage" folder will begin.

4) Finally, you are going to download the templates into the same new folder. After downloading E-Zip into the new folder, return to your download link page. Click on the link to your template and follow the same procedure above, downloading the zipped Family Heritage Template and the extra zipped files into the "Heritage' folder. When you are finished, the new folder should have at least two zipped files: one is the E-Zip Wizard, the other(s) should be your zipped Family Heritage Template. The "General Instructions" file is actually a web page. Click on the link and it will open up in a new window. Go to the File" command at the top of your browser page. Select "save As" and save the page into the "Heritage" folder on your computer. Or, you can print it out using the "Print Me" button on that page. Installing the E-Zip Wizard 5) You must install the E-Zip unzipping software before you can open your templates. Our templates will not open with any other unzipping software. When you are ready, find the "Heritage" folder into which you downloaded the zipped files. Double click on the "E-Zip wizard" icon to install it. Click "Agree" under the terms. The E-Zip program installs itself in your "C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\eZip Wizard" folder. Locate that folder on your hard drive and double click on the folder with the green "Z" in the center. If the program asks you to associate all zip files with this program, say yes unless you have an unzip program you prefer to use for your other files. After Installation, reboot your computer. From now on, all of the zipped files on your computer will show as a yellow folder with a green Z in the center. You should see the following on your screen:
 |
6) Open the E-Zip software on your computer from "Start/Programs/E-Zip". When the software asks "Which Zip file do you want to work with" go to C:\Heritage\" and locate the zipped templates downloaded into the "Heritage" folder you created. You should see the following on your screen:
 |
Opening the files you downloaded: 7) Tell it you want to "work with" the zipped template file in the new folder by locating the folder with your downloaded templates and double clicking on the name of the zipped template file. You should select the folder you made, in this case "Reunion", then click on the zip file it contains:
 |
8) Next, E-Zip will show you a list of files in the zipped template folder with check marks beside them and ask you which files you want to unzip. Make sure all of the files are checked then click "Next". For example, if you ordered the Reunion Book, you will see the following on your screen:
 If you ordered other templates, each individual template will be showing in this box. For example: if you ordered the Memorial Templates A for Publisher, you will have four templates, two for Microsoft Publisher 98 and two for Publisher 2k, one for male, one for female. |
10) E-Zip will ask you where on your hard disk do you want to put the extracted files. Locate the "Heritage" folder you created earlier and extract it there. The name should automatically appear in the blank area under this question, right next to the C:\ type in "Heritage". For example, the path will be: "C:\Heritage". If it does not, either locate the folder by hand, or type in the location. You should see the following on your screen:
 |
11) Click "Unzip". When the process is complete, you will have the option of going directly to the new folder, or exiting the e-zip wizard. Click "Next" to go to the directly to your new "Heritage" folder. You should see the zipped templates and the unzipped templates as well as the original files you downloaded from the Internet. The Publisher templates have a small green "P" in the upper left corner. The Word templates have a small blue "W" in the upper left corner. The "readme" files have the big blue "e" in the middle. Open and print the "ReadmeBook" or "ReadmeCal" file first. Be sure to print out the "Readme" files. They contain specific directions for assembling the Reunion Booklet or Calendar. We've also included general directions with all of our other templates. The templates for Publisher 98 say "...98template" in the title. The templates for Publisher /Word 2000 have "2K" template" in the title. Click on the template file you want and your copy of Microsoft Publisher or Microsoft Word will open automatically. Do a "Save As" and rename the template immediately!! Create a new folder on your hard drive in the "My Documents" folder, name it "Publisher Work" or "Word Work" and save the new document there. HINT: It will be easier to find or backup your work files if you create a sub-folder within the "My Documents" folder for each program you use creatively ( i.e. Publisher Work, Word Work, Word Perfect Work, PhotoShop Work etc.) and store the files you create in that location. Back up your work files regularly - at least once a month or so. Save them to a diskette, a separate disk drive, zip disk, portable drive etc. In the event of a computer crash, you will be glad you did. I hope this was helpful to you.
