Common Issues

• Downloading via Microsoft AppSource: 
  We've observed several challenges with downloading our add-in through your browser on Microsoft AppSource. This is primarily due to inconsistencies in Microsoft's authentication process, which is beyond our control. Consequently, we advise against using this method for installation. If you encounter difficulties with AppSource, please follow the installation instructions provided earlier in this guide for a more reliable setup experience.
• Add-ins Managed by Organization Admin:

  In many organizations, software installations, including Word add-ins, are controlled by IT administrators to ensure security and manageability. If you encounter issues installing the add-in, it could be because your organization restricts these actions. Here’s what you can do:

  • Contact your IT Administrator: Ask for the necessary permissions to install the add-in or request that they install it for you.
  • Request Access: If the add-in is crucial for your work, discuss its benefits with your administrator to facilitate access.
