What you need before you start
Microsoft Word 365 or Office 365, up to date (standalone versions such as Office 2016 or 2019 may not support cloud add-ins)
Your active Lexroom account (you'll need the credentials the first time you access the add-in)
A stable internet connection
Step-by-step procedure
Method 1 — Via the Word marketplace (recommended)
Open Microsoft Word.
Go to Insert → Add-ins → Get Add-ins.
In the search bar type Lexroom and press Enter.
Click Add on the "Lexroom" add-in.
Confirm the terms of use.
The add-in will appear as a button in the Word toolbar.
Method 2 — Direct link (if you can't find Lexroom in the marketplace)
If, when searching for "Lexroom" in the Word marketplace, you don't see the add-in:
Open your browser and go to word.cloud.microsoft
Sign in with your Microsoft account
Search for "Lexroom" and proceed with the installation
⚠️ If even this method doesn't work, your Lexroom subscription probably doesn't include the add-in yet. Contact your Account Manager to check.
First access to the add-in
Once installed, the first time you use it the add-in will ask for your email and password.
🔑 Important: use the credentials for your Lexroom account, NOT your Microsoft ones.
If you're unsure which credentials to use, read: Word add-in not working: are you using the right credentials?
Is the add-in included in my subscription?
It depends on your contract. The Lexroom add-in for Word is a component that is included in some plans and available separately in others.
To find out whether it's already active for you, contact us and we'll tell you about your contractual situation.
