Web Add-ins

By default, Microsoft Word enables web add-ins. Many IT departments have group policies or registry configurations that turn them off and prevent end-users from arbitrarily installing web add-ins listed on the store.

If web add-ins are turned off, the Insert Add-in button will be disabled in Microsoft Word. You won't be able to set up TermLynx on your end-user computer.

Enabling web add-ins

To turn on web add-ins, configure the following registry key:

https://admx.help/?Category=Office2016&Policy=office16.Office.Microsoft.Policies.Windows::L_DisableAllCatalogs

If, after setting this value to 1, web add-ins are still disabled, ensure no group policy overrides the registry key.

Disabling the store

You might not want your end-user to be able to download any web add-in from the store, but you might still want the web add-ins to be activated so TermLynx can work.

You can do this by disabling the store. Use this registry entry to disable the store:

https://admx.help/?Category=Office2016&Policy=office16.Office.Microsoft.Policies.Windows::L_DisableOfficeStore

If, after setting this value to 1, the store is still enabled, ensure no group policy overrides the registry key.

Use the centralized or the side-load deployment methods to deploy TermLynx.
