Word: Activate and deactivate Addin
This practical tip shows you how to activate and deactivate an add-in in Word.
How to enable and disable addins in Word
If you want to (de) activate an add-in in Word, you have to change the corresponding settings in the options. We'll show you where to find them in Word 2007. The process works similarly for other versions.
- Start Word and click the Microsoft icon in the upper left corner.
- Select "Word Options" at the bottom right and then click "Add-Ins". Also compare the screenshot.
- On the right you will now find a list with all addins. Under "Active application add-ins" you will find all addins that can be deactivated. Under "Deactivated application add-ins" you can see all those that can be activated.
- Now select the desired addin. In the "Manage" area, click on the "Go" button under "COM Add-Ins" and activate or deactivate the check box.
