The add-in icon doesn't show up after installation

Updated over 3 weeks ago

If the LanguageTool add-in icon doesn’t appear in the Home tab after installation, or if it disappears every time you restart Word, this might be due to settings that block web add-ins from starting.

How to fix this

  1. Open Microsoft Word.

  2. Go to FileOptionsTrust CenterTrust Center Settings.

  3. Select the Trusted Add-in Catalogs tab.

4. Make sure both checkboxes are unchecked in this section.

5. Click OK to save your settings.

6. Restart Microsoft Word.

After restarting, the LanguageTool add-in should appear in the Home tab.

💡 Note: Depending on your version of Word, the add-in icon might be hidden behind the three dots icon (“...”).
