Install in Word

First, save the add-in manifest.

Download manifest.xml

Word for Windows loads add-ins from a shared network folder, so the manifest has to live in a folder that's shared on your PC — a plain C:\ file path won't be accepted.

  1. Create a folder on your C: drive, e.g. C:\LawManage, and move the downloaded manifest.xml into it.
  2. Right-click the folder → Properties → Sharing tab → Share…, add Everyone, then Share to confirm.
  3. Still on the Sharing tab, copy the Network Path — it looks like \\YOUR-PC\LawManage. This is the URL the Trust Center needs (not the C:\ path).
  4. In Word, go to File → Options → Trust Center → Trust Center Settings → Trusted Add-in Catalogs.
  5. Paste the network path into Catalog Url, click Add catalog, tick Show in Menu, and click OK.
  6. Close and reopen Word completely.
  7. Open a document, then Insert → Add-ins → My Add-ins → Shared Folder, and choose LawManage.
  1. Download manifest.xml using the button above.
  2. Open Terminal and run: 
    mkdir -p ~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Word/Data/Documents/wef
mv ~/Downloads/manifest.xml ~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Word/Data/Documents/wef/lawmanage.xml
  3. Quit Word completely, then reopen it.
  4. Open a document, then Insert → Add-ins → My Add-ins → Developer Add-ins, and choose LawManage.
