ACTION:
Change the value of the registry key to 3:
64bit:

32bit:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\ | | \AddIns\MozartAddIn.MozartAddIn\LoadBehavior
 
Registry Modification Warning:
 
Modifying registry values incorrectly may cause serious, system-wide problems that may require the re-installation of Microsoft Windows. Any edit of the registry is done at the user's own risk. Since these are user-initiated changes, they are not covered by any Strategy warranty. If using Microsoft Windows, the user should backup the registry and/ or update an Emergency Repair Disk prior to alterations.
