Microsoft Office
Windows
To install TermLynx to Microsoft Word on Windows, you will require a version of Microsoft Word that is ≥ 16.0.5317.1000.
If you install Microsoft Word with Office 365, you should have a version that fits this requirement.
If you install Microsoft Word with an MSI or MSO setup, you might have a version ≤ 16.0.5317.1000. You will need to update Microsoft Word if that is the case. That does not mean that you have to uninstall office. You only have to apply patches to enhance Microsoft Office's stability and security.
Office Update
If you install Microsoft Word with Office 365, you can apply the updates from within Microsoft Word itself. No administration rights are required.
Step by Step
