Question 9

How to Fix Certificate Not Trusted Error

Accepted Answer

This tutorial describes the steps to 'trust' our certificate, so you can use the BookPublisherTools software.

When you’re installing our Powerpoint plugins, you may sometimes get an error stating that the certificate is not trusted.

Note: This works for many other MS Office plugins as well, so even if you’re not using BookPublisherTools software, this may help you.

Cause

Q: Getting Started with Mazes 3D Isometric

The full tutorial can be found here :

We sign our software with a ‘code signing’ certificate, just the way websites have a certificate to allow for secure HTTPS connections. For software it means you can be 100% sure that it was created by BookPublisherTools, and hasn’t been tampered. (The certificate is for “Core Insights” which is the parent company of BookPublisherTools).

Normally MS Windows will automatically accept and register this certificate, but in rare cases it doesn’t (even if you were able to install a previous version without problems).

Solution

The solution is to store the certificate in a ‘certificate store’ on your computer manually. That will tell MS Windows that you trust our software. (If you don’t trust our software, you shouldn’t be using it!).

Unfortunately, this takes 8 small steps, but each step is very easy to do.

Step 1

https://malcolm-en-gb.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/instances/wuGqS3zSeN/resources/drvdvs4zQH/Powerpoint%20Add%20In%20Certificate%20Step%201.png (Powerpoint Add In Certificate Step 1.png)

Right-click the setup file (setup.exe if you see the file extensions) and click Properties in the pop up menu

Step 2

https://malcolm-en-gb.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/instances/wuGqS3zSeN/resources/ZYLVyhEQgY/Powerpoint%20Add%20In%20Certificate%20Step%202.png (Powerpoint Add In Certificate Step 2.png)

In the properties window, you should see a tab “Digital Signatures” (1). This means it’s signed with a digital certificate. When you click this line where it says “Core Insights” (2), the Details button should be enabled, and you can click this (3)

Step 3

https://malcolm-en-gb.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/instances/wuGqS3zSeN/resources/eXGaupoRLq/Powerpoint%20Add%20In%20Certificate%20Step%203.png (Powerpoint Add In Certificate Step 3.png)

Here you can see again that the certificate is for Core Insights. Click “View Certificate”

Step 4

https://malcolm-en-gb.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/instances/wuGqS3zSeN/resources/cy5kHO8zOY/Powerpoint%20Add%20In%20Certificate%20Step%204.png (Powerpoint Add In Certificate Step 4.png)

If you want to verify the authenticity of this certificate, you can click “Issuer Statement” (1), which will show you a page on the Sectigo website. (Sectigo is one of the worlds trusted organisation that issue certificate).

To continue, you should click “Install Certificate” (2)

Step 5

https://malcolm-en-gb.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/instances/wuGqS3zSeN/resources/YANZVsgxnc/Powerpoint%20Add%20In%20Certificate%20Step%205.png (Powerpoint Add In Certificate Step 5.png)

It’s up to you whether you want to install the certificate for the Current User or the Local Machine (all users). It’s safest to select Current User and click Next.

Note: To install for Local Machine, you need administrator rights on your computer.

Step 6

https://malcolm-en-gb.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/instances/wuGqS3zSeN/resources/xF9cTbYzsN/Powerpoint%20Add%20In%20Certificate%20Step%206.png (Powerpoint Add In Certificate Step 6.png)

There are several options to store the certificate. Please select “Place all certificates in the following store”, then click “Browse” and select “Trusted Publishers”. Click “Next”

Step 7

https://malcolm-en-gb.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/instances/wuGqS3zSeN/resources/TZf0mBefHA/Powerpoint%20Add%20In%20Certificate%20Step%207.png (Powerpoint Add In Certificate Step 7.png)

This window summarizes what you’ve selected so far. When you click “Finish” the certificate will be installed and you should be able to install the plugin normally afterwards.

Step 8

https://malcolm-en-gb.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/instances/wuGqS3zSeN/resources/BeCRlE8wnP/Powerpoint%20Add%20In%20Certificate%20Step%208.png (Powerpoint Add In Certificate Step 8.png)

Finally you should be seeing this confirmation message “The import was succesful”. If you get an error at this point, please take a screenshot and send this to the seller of your plugin or to our helpdesk (in the case of BookPublisherTools software).

Step 9

Okay, I lied. This is step 9, but to be honest, some steps didn’t take much work, besides clicking one button.

As a final step, double-click the setup (or setup.exe) file for the Powerpoint add-in, and install it.

Question 10

How to delete or copy presets for Puzzle Maker Pro

Accepted Answer

This tutorial shows how to delete or copy presets for Puzzle Maker Pro.

Preset Locations

All the presets that are saved from within Puzzle Maker Pro are stored on your computer, in subfolders for "Documents\BookPublisherTools\Presets\PMP".

An easy way to find that folder is to click the "Open Presets Folder" button on the Tools tab in Puzzle Maker Pro:

Tools tab Open Preset Folder

https://malcolm-en-gb.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/instances/wuGqS3zSeN/resources/MLH4neHFkw/Tools%20tab%20Open%20Preset%20Folder.png (Tools tab Open Preset Folder)

When you click this button, it will open Windows File Explorer for the Presets folder:

Presets Folder Word Search

https://malcolm-en-gb.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/instances/wuGqS3zSeN/resources/2SRRBHFHic/Presets%20Folder%20Word%20Search.png (Presets Folder Word Search)

In this folder you'll find subfolders for each puzzle type and Time Saver add-on. You can double- click a folder to see which presets are saved in it. For example you can double-click the Word Search folder to see all the Word Search presets.

Tips and Tricks

You can delete presets and copy them to a different computer. Please be aware that if the presets refer to other files on your computer, you'll have to copy those too, to exact the same location.

For example, if you have a Word Search preset that refers to a word file "D:/Word List/Occupations.txt": You'll need to copy that file as well, and put it in exact the same location. Otherwise it cannot be found.

For JigSaw, Sudoku and other modules that use images: You'll need to make sure that all the images that are referred to in a preset, will be available in the same locations when you copy a preset.
