Installing Plug-Ins

Installation requirements for individual plug-ins may vary, so check with the plug-in's documentation first. Generally, each plug-in consists of an *.nbp file. (Some plug-ins may also include additional support files, such as DLLs, etc..) Copy the *.nbp file and any support files into the "NeoBook 5\Plug-Ins" or "NeoBook 4\Plug-Ins" folder depending on which version you're using. Next, select Install Plug-Ins from NeoBook's Options menu. Finally, click the Install button and select the plug-in's *.nbp file. If the installation is successful, you will see the plug-in appear in the list of installed plug-ins and in NeoBook's Insert Action list (pictured below).
