Here are free, open-source add-ins for Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint that format chemical equations and exponents. The source code is released under the GPL v. 3 license. To illustrate their use, imagine typing the following line in Word:

Cu2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) CuSO4*5H2O Heat for 2 hours at 120°C. ΔH = 1E4 J/mol

(I typed -->, which Word automatically converted to ). Leave the cursor in this paragraph (or select just the text to format). Click the button, which runs the add-in. The line is converted to this:

Cu²⁺⁽aq) + SO₄^2-(aq) CuSO₄·5H₂O Heat for 2 hours at 120°C. ΔH = 1 × 10⁴ J/mol

Superscripts and subscripts were added; the arrow was replaced with a prettier arrow; and the asterisk was converted to a centered dot to indicate waters of hydration (or radicals). A plus (or minus) sign with space before it is not superscripted. Numbers in the text after the equation were unchanged, except that 1E4 was converted to 1 × 10⁴.

In Excel, you could type the following into two cells:

*CH3 + *OH --> CH3OH

2H2(g) + O2(g) --> 2H2O(g) yield: 3.2E8 kg

Select both cells, click the button, and the lines are converted to these:

·CH₃ + ·OH CH₃OH

2H₂(g) 2H₂O(g) yield: 3.2 × 10⁸ kg

(The centered dots are a little small in Arial, which is Excel’s default font on the PC.)

Here are some other examples. Square brackets may be present.

Radicals can be entered.

A plus or minus sign before a letter is not treated as a charge.

If more than one digit precedes a charge, the last digit goes with the charge.

A single digit preceding a charge goes with the charge, except for O3.

The program cannot read minds, so check the results. In the last example, CH3- was probably meant to be CH₃^-, rather than CH^3-.

These add-ins take a couple of seconds to load the first time they are run; after that, they are quite fast.

To download the Word add-in, click on the appropriate link below with your secondary mouse button (i.e., right-click) and select Save Target As … (Internet Explorer) or Save Link As … (Firfox) from the menu.

Internet Explorer 7 changes the file extension to .zip in the Save As dialog. Change the ending back to .dotm and it should work fine.

The Word 2007 add-in seems to work at least somewhat on the Mac with Office 2011.

Save the add-in in the Word startup directory.

Unless you have Office 2007 or later, do the following. Otherwise, follow the directions under PowerPoint, below.

Once the file is in the correct directory, it will automatically load every time Word is started. To start the formatter without restarting Word, go to the Templates and Add-Ins… dialog box (on the Tools menu).

If the list of add-ins does not include “Chemistry Formatter”, use the Add… button to locate it. Put a check mark next to the entry “ Chemical Formatter for Word.dot” (which should now be present in the add-ins list). Click the OK button to complete the installation. You can tell that installation succeeded by the appearance of the button on Word’s standard toolbar.

The Chemistry Formatter for Word will process text in shapes, a “normal” selection of text, a “block” selection (made by holding down the alt key before selecting text), and cells in a table. The shapes and normal selection are usually processed in less than a second. Processing a block selection takes about 7 times as long, though this is still only about a second for small selections. A block of cells in a table is also somewhat slower to process if it extends over more than one row, and doesn’t include all the cells in the row; however, it is not as slow as a block selection. If the AutoCorrect “Replace text as you type” option is turned off, the formatter will convert -->, but not , to . If it is on, the formatter will convert , but not -->, to .

Word XP and later versions allows the user to select several regions of text at the same time (select the first region, hold down the control key, and select another region with the mouse). The Chemistry Formatter will only format the last region selected. The formatter does not process text in diagrams. Also, the formatter will produce an error message if hidden text at the very end of a document is selected (by using “Select All” from Word’s Edit menu).

Complete “Undo” capabilities are provided. (Word provides this automatically; I can’t take credit for it.)

The program was created using Visual Basic for Applications. It is not password protected. To view the code, unload the add-in, open it from the file / open menu, then go to the Visual Basic Editor.

Chemists use all kinds of symbols. Word includes “AutoCorrect”, which makes it easy to use combinations of symbols. If you type, say, “-->',it is automatically changed to . (Control-z will undo the change.) You can add other entries to the AutoCorrect list. Here are some entries I’ve added:

Here is a Word document that makes it easy to add entries to the AutoCorrect list. Just select the entries that you want to add from a table and click the button. 17 entries are included; you can add others. The table makes a convenient storage area for the entries you’ve added so that you can find them when you need them.

Nghê Quốc Khải has created a nice Word add-in called ChemSpell.

To download the Excel add-in, click on the appropriate link below with your secondary mouse button (i.e., right-click) (Mac users: hold down the control key, , and click on the link) and select Save Target As … (Internet Explorer) or Save Link As … (Netscape) from the menu.

Internet Explorer 7 changes the file extension to .zip in the Save As dialog. Change the ending back to .xlam and it should work fine.

Save the add-in in the existing Excel AddIns directory. (If the directory is hidden, make it visible by following the procedure given above for the Word Add-in.)

Note for non-English users:

On computers using a different language, the directory names may be different than shown below. See the notes under Word, above.

For Excel 2007 and 2010 for the PC, the default path to this folder follows. These directories are not visible by default, so the procedure above must be followed to make them visible. The Excel 2007 add-in seems to work at least somewhat on the Mac with Office 2011.

For Windows XP:

C:Documents and SettingsUSERNAMEApplication DataMicrosoftAddIns

For Windows 2007, and Vista:

C:UsersUSERNAMEAppDataRoamingMicrosoftAddIns

For Excel 2003, XP and 2000 for the PC, the default path to this folder is

for Windows 2000 or Windows XP,

C:Documents and SettingsUSERNAMEApplication DataMicrosoftAddIns

or, if user profiles are used on your computer,

C:WindowsProfilesUserNameApplication DataMicrosoftAddIns

or, for older Windows operating systems,

C:WindowsApplication DataMicrosoftAddIns

Unless you have Office 2007 or later, do the following. Otherwise, follow the directions under PowerPoint, below.

Once the file is in the correct directory, go to the Add-Ins… dialog box (on the Tools menu).

Put a check mark next to the entryPowerPoint 2010 Chemical Formatter

Last updated February 8, 2010

This requires service pack 1 (which you may already have, if you’ve got Microsoft Update turned on).

Internet Explorer 7 changes the file extension to .zip in the Save As dialog. Change the ending back to .ppam and it should work fine.

Internet Explorer 7 changes the file extension to .zip in the Save As dialog. Change the ending back to .ppam and it should work fine.

Save the add-in in the existing AddIns directory. The default path to this folder follows. These directories are not visible by default, so the prodecure above must be followed to make them visible.

In Windows 2000 or Windows XP, the default path to this folder (in English) is

C:Documents and SettingsUSERNAMEApplication DataMicrosoftAddIns

In Windows 7 or Vista, the default path to this folder (in English) is

C:UsersUSERNAMEAppDataRoamingMicrosoftAddIns

If your computer uses a language besides English, the directory name will probably not be exactly as indicated above. See the notes under Word, above.

To install in PowerPoint 2003: Start PowerPoint 2003. Change the security level from high to medium (on the Tools menu, select Macro, then Security…. On the “Security Level” tab, select Medium. Go to the Add-Ins… dialog box (on the Tools menu). Use the Browse button to find the file. Put a check mark next to the entry “Chemistry Formatter for PowerPoint 2003” and you are done. You can tell that the installation succeeded by the appearance of a button with “H2O” on it on the formatting toolbar. If you like, you can reset the security level to high.

To install in PowerPoint 2007 or 2010: Start PowerPoint. Click the Office Button, then select PowerPoint Options (located at the bottom, not side, of the Office Button box). The PowerPoint Options box appears. On the menus on the left frame, select Add-Ins. At the bottom of the right frame is Manage, followed by a drop-down list. From the list, select PowerPoint Add-ins. Click the Go button. Up pops a dialog box. Use the Add New… button to find the file. Finally, put a check mark next to the entry 'Chemistry Formatter for PowerPoint 2007 (or 2010)” and you are done. You can tell that the installation succeeded by the appearance of a button on the Home tab of the ribbon, after the Font group:

The programming interface in PowerPoint is not as complete as it is in Word or Excel, so this add-in isn’t quite as sophisticated. The button that runs the formatter isn’t as fancy: it is just the label H2O. Here’s what it looks like on the formatting toolbar: If you move it, the new position won’t be remembered when PowerPoint is restarted.

If “->” is typed, the formatter will convert it into a prettier arrow. This is different from Word and Excel, where “-->” is what gets changed to an arrow. In Word, if no text is selected, the paragraph containing the cursor is formatted. In PowerPoint, the paragraph containing the cursor cannot always be determined. So, if no text is selected in a title box, the entire contents of the box will be formatted. In a table or organization chart or note pane (in “Normal” view), if no text is selected, nothing will be formatted, though if the entire table or chart is selected, then the entire table or chart will be formatted. For other shapes, the current paragraph will be formatted, if no text is selected. That includes notes in “Notes” view. If multiple shapes or slides are selected, they will all be formatted. Comments cannot be formatted. No part of a chart can be formatted.

“Undo” is available; Cntl +z, or the undo button or menu will restore the changes made by the add-in.

This version will replace either “->” or “” with a prettier arrow. SmartArt shapes, charts, and comments cannot be formatted. Most selections of part of a paragraph can now be formatted. The PowerPoint 2010 code, for curious VBA programmers, may be downloaded.

The next version of Office for the Mac, “Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac”, will not include Visual Basic. Microsoft recommends writing macros in AppleScript. Also, OpenOffice now supports macros. Both of these could use a chemistry formatter. If you’d like to get the chemistry formatters to work on other platforms, I’d be happy to add a link to your site, or make your product available here. If you’d like, we could work together on the project. Getting the formatters to format text is the easy part. Getting them to handle any situation the user throws at them is the time consuming part. That requires learning the software’s object model. To produce a quality product requires testing all the possibilities, which takes time.

Let me know if you have problems or suggestions, or just like the formatters. I’m at cking@troy.edu.

The number of Microsoft Office users today, estimated to be over 1.2 billion, can easily form their own country. And it’s safe to say that Microsoft Word users are a big part of that productive population.

Microsoft Word (2019, 2016, or Microsoft 365) can help you design virtually every kind of professional document - from a simple office memo to a Kindle e-book. But sometimes you could use a bit of extra oomph in your Word documents. That’s where a roster of excellent and mostly free Microsoft Word add-ins can help.

Why are Microsoft Word add-ins so important?

Google Chrome has extensions. Microsoft Office has add-ins. Earlier, they were called Office Apps. These are little assistants which help you do a few things that Word cannot do on its own.

Want to send a document for an e-signature and track its status? Maybe you are a student who wants to add math equations quickly? Or, you just want to grab some beautiful stock photos for a document?

Add-ins can do all that and make Microsoft Word seem more powerful than it already is.

Today, we will look at how to install and manage these little tools and suggest a few of the best Microsoft Word add-ins you should install to improve your productivity.

Most of these add-ins will work with Microsoft Word 365, 2016, 2019, and Microsoft Word Online.

Download the print-ready shortcut cheatsheet for Word.

Which add-ins should you install?

There are more than 2000 Microsoft Office add-ins. Microsoft Office organizes all add-ins in neat categories. You can also filter them by:

1. Rating
2. Name

Microsoft Office also automatically suggests a few add-ins to you. And there’s a category called Editor’s Picks, which displays a few highly-rated selections. Work through the choices and pick the ones that fit your workflow.

How to install and manage Microsoft Word add-ins

There are two simple routes to browse and download the add-ins you want.

1. Microsoft Word has a dedicated Office Store (AppSource) which lists all add-ins available for all Office applications.

2. You can also access the add-ins inside Word (and other Office apps), and Word for other platforms, like Word for iPad, Word for Mac, and Word Online.

How to download add-ins from the Office Store

The Office Store can be browsed like any other website. Filters on the left help you drill down to the add-ins you need.

Do read the reviews for each add-in and check the ratings. The better add-ins will be strong in both areas.

1. Click the blue Get It Now button.

2. Sign into AppSource with your Microsoft account.

3. Give Microsoft permission to install the add-in.

4. Continue the installation by selecting the application you want it for.

Chemistry Add In For Word Mac

5. The add-in will appear on the extreme right of the Ribbon. Click the add-in button and a sidebar appears on the side of your document.

How to download add-ins from inside Microsoft Word

1. Go to the Ribbon > Add-Ins > Get Add-Ins.

2. Use the Store pane to browse for add-ins and install them. All installed add-ins will be listed under My Add-Ins.

3. Give your permission to Microsoft and allow the installation to proceed.

As in the download from the website, the add-in appears as a button on the Ribbon. When you are done with an add-in, you can close it by clicking the “X” button in the sidebar.

All free and purchased add-ins are part of your Microsoft account. After you’ve added them, you’ll have quick access to them from the My Add-ins button on the menu. The Manage My Add-ins link on the window will also take you to a page where you can see more details.

For e.g. an option to hide an add-in if you don’t want to see it on your list.

If you don’t use an add-in, then you can always delete them to clean up your list.

How to delete add-ins you don’t want

1. When you want to remove an add-in, go to Ribbon > Add-ins > My Add-ins. If you don’t see your add-in, then click on the Refresh link at the top of the window.

2. In the Office Add-ins window, click the menu option (three dots) for the specific add-in and click on Remove.

With this basic process covered, let us move on to select a few choice add-ins that can set you up for productivity.

The best free Microsoft Word add-ins for everyday productivity

It’s a tough job selecting add-ins from a stock of 2000+. But let’s look at a few which can cut across all sections of users -- from the layman to the white collar worker.

Also, the focus of the list is on free add-ins. A few excellent add-ins with trial accounts have been thrown into the mix to demonstrate how you can extend Word when your needs demand it.

1. WritingAssistant

Cost: Free.

Key Benefit: Improve your English with AI.

When English isn’t your first language then you should welcome some help. Writing Assistant is an artificial intelligence powered text checker that flags errors in your grammar. It claims to adapt to your context and offer suggestions.

Use it alongside Word’s own Grammar and Spell Checker to improve your writing.

Also: Grammarly is popular and it also has a powerful add-in for Word and Outlook.

2. MyScript Math Sample

Cost: Free.

Key Benefit: A math equation editor that works like a scratchpad.

In Word, go to Insert > Equation. You can use the gallery of equations in Word or manually type it out (or use Ink Equation). If this seems like hard work, try the MyScript Math Sample add-in now.

Use the side panel to write an equation with a finger, stylus, or the mouse. The add-in supports more than 200 symbols. Thanks to real-time handwriting recognition, your input is instantly converted to a clear typed equation. It just feels more intuitive, and you can combine it with Word’s own equation features.

3. Handy Calculator

Cost: Free.

Key Benefit: Use it like a built-in calculator for Microsoft Word.

There could be a calculator sitting in your taskbar. But Handy Calculator saves you a few seconds as it works alongside your open Word document in a task pane. The calculator supports all common functions and the usual memory keys to recall any value stored in memory.

If you work a lot with Word and Excel, then use the Select button for quick cell calculations.

4. I Should Be Writing

Cost: Free.

Key Benefit: Keeps you motivated with a timer and a word count tracker.

Writing is a lonely job and sometimes you just have a word count to aim for. This simple add-in does this well by allowing you to set a countdown timer or a word count goal.

A Write with Others setting nudges your motivation with a live word count of other users or your team.

5. Wikipedia

Cost: Free.

Key Benefit: Simplify the search for facts.

It can be a college essay or a research paper. The world’s favorite encyclopedia is often the first source for facts. So, don’t jump between your Word document and the browser.

The Wikipedia add-in can work alongside Word’s Researcher function to help you crosscheck information and improve accuracy.

6. Word Training and Tips

Cost: Free.

Key Benefit: Become a better Microsoft Word user.

This add-in gives you access to GoSkills “how-to” cheat sheets from the popular Microsoft Word course. Get handy step by step instructions on formatting, styles, and more, right within your Word document.

7. Symbol Search

Cost: Free.

Key Benefit: Search and use high-quality symbols in your documents.

Microsoft Word has a nice Icons gallery on the Ribbon to help you communicate with symbols. But it’s always useful to have quick access to more. Symbol Search has a categorized lineup and a handy search box to find a unique symbol.

Click on More (three-dot menu option) and find the registered symbol, double asterisks, subscript numbers etc.

8. Vertex42 Template Gallery

Cost: Free.

Key Benefit: Select from 300+ professionally designed templates for Word and Excel.

There’s a sameness to the default templates in Microsoft Office. Vertex42 specializes in templates for Word and Excel and it shows in the variety they offer.

The collection of 431 documents is organized in neat categories that cover personal, educational, and professional templates.

Also: Look at Spreadsheet123 and its collection of 200 templates for Word and Excel.

9. Pro Word Cloud

Cost: Free.

Key Benefit: Visualize your text and get your point across.

Word clouds add a visual element to any document or presentation. If it’s text dense then you can use a word cloud to check the frequency of your main keyword. It can also help summarize the core idea of any document for your readers.

You can customize the word clouds with different sizes, fonts, layouts, and color schemes.

10. Pickit

Cost: Free for 7 days, $5.00/month after.

Key Benefit: Find the right photo or clipart to use from a vast image bank.

Pickit is a stock illustration site that can complement your documents with beautiful photos and clipart. PowerPoint designs aside, you can create impactful Word documents too by breaking up text with a photo that sends a visual message.

The add-in is free to download but you have to subscribe for premium features after seven days.

Also: Looking for a completely free alternative with Creative Commons licensed photos? Try the excellent Word add-in that sources images from Pexels.

11. PDFfiller

Cost: Free trial, $6.00/month after.

Key Benefit: Edit, sign, and share PDF files stored in OneDrive.

Word can open PDF files and even edit them. But it’s not perfect as lines and pages can break. PDFFiller opens a fillable, printable PDF in its own editor from OneDrive. Edit, sign, and share the files again from the same window within Word.

You can save a lot of time as you do not have to download or upload the files from the desktop.

12. Copyleaks Plagiarism Checker

Cost: Free with a limited number of scans.

Key Benefit: Check if any document is original.

No one wants to be called a plagiarist. And Copyleaks has built its reputation as a search engine for avoiding that charge. The cloud based app uses its algorithms to scan any document and ensure its integrity. Copyleaks also supports multiple languages.

The Word add-in allows you to scan 10 pages a month for free. If you are a heavy user, then go for an additional purchase.

13. Lucidchart Diagrams for Word

Cost: Free with a limited number of diagrams.

Key Benefit: Draw flowcharts, mockups, mind maps, and business process charts easily.

Sometimes, a flowchart or a business process diagram can make a complex concept simpler. Lucidchart is an industry leading software that offers this add-in for Word users. Use the library of shapes and lines to quickly create your own diagrams. The learning curve is shallow.

Lucidchart also supports collaboration and version control. You can download the add-in for free and create a limited number of free documents. Additional upgrades need to be purchased.

14. DocuSign for Word

Cost: Free to try. Additional purchases required.

Key Benefit: Sign or request eSignatures for important documents without leaving Word.

Digital signatures have become foolproof and legally binding identification tools for critical documents. In many countries, they are the same as physical signatures on paper documents. Sign in with your Microsoft 365, Microsoft, or DocuSign account. Email a completed copy of the signed documents, automatically save them in DocuSign, or on a cloud platform for collaboration.

DocuSign offers a free trial (sign and send 5 documents with a Microsoft 365 account and 10 documents with an Microsoft account).

15. Qorus

Cost: Free to try. Additional purchases required.

Key Benefit: Make business documents effortlessly.

Qorus is a business document builder. It works seamlessly across Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint to create personalized business documents like request for proposals, pitches, and NDAs. Qorus includes tools that can quickly create fresh documents from templates, answer queries with a bank of reusable content, and even collaborate on documents with a team.

Qorus is a bid and proposal management solution on its own. The advantages can outweigh the costs if your enterprise needs it. Try it with a 14-day trial.

16. OfficeMaps

Cost: Free.

Key Benefit: Show locations on documents quickly.

Making an event flyer in Microsoft Word? Why not help your guests by displaying a small map that shows exactly where it will take place. There is Google Maps, but this little touch saves everyone a few seconds.

The add-in allows you to customize the appearance and size of the map.

17. Read My Document

Cost: Free.

Key Benefit: Go easy on your eyes.

Read My Document is a text to speech converter that reads your Microsoft Office documents aloud. It can be an invaluable editing aid when you are proofreading a document. Pick a voice and the speech speed to begin.

Alternatively, you can multitask by letting it read a document while you do something else. But don’t use it for confidential documents as the engine can send data over the internet.

18. Woodpecker

Cost: Free.

Key Benefit: Reuse your most important legal documents.

Legal documents should always be standardized. It makes it not only easier to understand them, but also saves a lot of time when you need to reuse them. Woodpecker is an easy to use add-in that removes the chore of re-creating legal docs everytime you need to change a minor detail.

Woodpecker also promises secure document management and collaboration with your own account. Project managers can try this add-in to enhance the role of their Word templates.

19. Font Finder

Cost: Free.

Key Benefit: Select and save your favorite fonts.

It is surprising that a desktop publishing software like Microsoft Word still does not have an adept font management system. For instance, you cannot save your favorite fonts. You can create styles for them, but that is a roundabout way. Font Finder makes it easier.

Use the add-in tab screen to browse through the categorized fonts. Search for the font you want to use and set them as favorites with a click on the star. However, a small pitfall is that it seems to ignore fonts that do not come with Word.

20. Emoji Keyboard

Cost: Free.

Key Benefit: Give your communication some color.

Microsoft Word add-ins shouldn’t be all sober and somber. Why not give it a bit of color with the Emoji Keyboard. After all, emojis are stuck to our digital tongues. And this keyboard gives you 1300 to choose from.

There’s also a skin tone modifier if you have to send a culturally sensitive message.
