macOS installation

  1. Download the latest version of Writage from the Download section.
  2. Double-click on Writage.pkg to launch the installer and follow the on-screen instructions.
  3. Launch Microsoft Word. The Writage tab will appear in the ribbon.

Note

When Word opens for the first time after installing Writage, it may ask whether to enable macros. Click Enable Macros to allow Writage to function.

Desktop app

The Writage installer includes a desktop app alongside the Word plugin. After installation you can find it at:

  • Windows: Start Menu → Writage App
  • macOS: /Applications/Writage.app

The desktop app lets you preview and convert Markdown and DOCX files without opening Word. See the Desktop App page for details.

Activating your license

After purchasing a license, activate it as follows:

  1. Open Microsoft Word.
  2. Click the Writage tab in the ribbon.
  3. Click the License button.
  4. Paste your license key into the dialog box and confirm.

On macOS, the desktop app stores its license separately from the Word plugin. If you use both, enter your key in each one.
