The easy mean is to copy/paste the macro/XDocReport.dotm in the STARTUP folder of MS Word C:\Documents and Settings$USER_NAME\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP where $USER_NAME is your Windows user

Close your MS Word if it is opened and reopen it (no need to open the XDocReport.dotm). When MS Word opens, it loads macros comming from the STARTUP folder. When your MS Word will be open you will see the following XDocReport menu.
