Antidote and Word: An Essential Integration

You will be able to open the dictionaries and guides directly from your word processing software, and most importantly, any changes you make in the corrector will be applied automatically to the original document.

Once you have added the connector, an Antidote tab will be permanently added to the Word ribbon. Click the tab to access Antidote’s three tools: the corrector, the dictionaries and the guides. To learn more about how to use it, read our article on how to run Antidote in Word.

One Connector for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote

Microsoft has standardized the technology used for application add-ins. There is now a single Antidote Connector for both desktop and web versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. Follow the same four steps to add the connector, whether on Windows or on Mac.

If these apps have been synchronized with your Microsoft account, the connector may have already been added. Otherwise, you will need to add it to each app. Once added, the Antidote tab will always appear in the ribbon of your apps.
