For some time I have had problems when shutting down Word 2010. It always wanted to save Normal.dot. I had to click many times Cancel or Don't save before I could restart the computer.
So I thought the problem lay perhaps at Wordfast. I had been using version 5.7x for the last two years.
Now I downloaded the newest version of WFC. I first put the dot-file into the Startup folder of Word, where the older version had been (renamed Wordfast.5).

For some time I have had problems when shutting down Word 2010. It always wanted to save Normal.dot. I had to click many times Cancel or Don't save before I could restart the computer.
So I thought the problem lay perhaps at Wordfast. I had been using version 5.7x for the last two years.
Now I downloaded the newest version of WFC. I first put the dot-file into the Startup folder of Word, where the older version had been (renamed Wordfast.5).
Then I started Word 2010. But no Wordfast-icon in Add-ins-menu, only PlusTools and others.
Then I read the quick installation guide. I tried to double click Wordfast.dot. The page loaded where it says "If installation does not start...". Nothing happened.
Then I moved Wordfast.dot to another folder and double-clicked again. The same page opened. After some time I hit Alt-Cntrl-W. Then a box appeared saying the installation was successful. But after re-starting Word no Wordfast icon!
The trust-center settings are as they should be.
How to get Wordfast run again?

Word needs to be closed for you to be able to copy wordfast.dot to its Startup folder.

As I told in my initial posting wordfast.dot is in the Startup folder. It still is. But it does not show up in Add-ins-menu. I followed all the instructions available.
Old Wordfast still functioned before I tried to install the new version.

Things to check Feb 8, 2013

In File > Options > Advanced, check that Word has the same idea as you about the location of its Startup folder:



Also check the Wordfast template hasn't been added to the list of disabled items:
