The Chronolator Word Bridge is defined to Word by a manifest file called manifest.xml. Contact Berrick Computing Ltd for a copy.

How to use the manifest depends on whether you want to use it in the Desktop version of Word, or the Online version that runs in a browser. The latter is the simplest way.

Loading the add-in to a Word Online session

You should only have to do this once per browser. If you clear your browser cache, you might have to do it again.

  • Save the manifest file on your computer; it does not matter where so long as you remember the location.
  • Open Word Online. (How to do this will vary according to your organisation or Office 365 account. If you are unsure, try this link: https://www.office.com/launch/word (opens in a new window).
  • Open a document (any document will do, including a new blank one). You should see an Add-ins button on the Ribbon:


(If the button is not there, see There is no Add-ins button on the Ribbon in the FAQ topic).

Press the Add-ins button, and then press More Add-ins

Press the MY ADDINS button, and then click on Upload My Add-in

Press Browse and find the manifest you saved

Press Upload

The add-in will be loaded.

Press Show Taskpane.

The add-in is displayed at the right of your Word session.

                               


Loading the add-in to the Word Desktop version

This procedure will be documented at a later date. For now, contact Berrick Computing Ltd if you need to use it.
