If you are using a 64-bit version of Word, click here for important information.


Both the Standard and the Word Add-In versions of Editor install in Windows on 32-bit and 64-bit machines.  However, the Word Add-In does not install in the 64-bit version of Word.  Microsoft advises customers that 64-bit Office 2010 and 2013 programs do not support most add-ins developed for 32-bit Office.  Many Word macros that you may have used with earlier versions of Word are also not supported.  That is why the 32-bit version of Office 2010 and 2013 is Microsoft's default (recommended) installation on 64-bit computers; almost no one needs 64-bit Office to do word processing or any other Office functions unless they work with massive Excel files.  Click here to read Microsoft's discussion of this problem for Word 2007-2010, and here for the discussion for Word 2013.

If you are using 64-bit Word, have your Microsoft Office installation disk, and wish to change to 32-bit Word, here is a tip from a customer: uninstall Office, then reinstall it from the disk, choosing the 32-bit option.  When 32-bit Word is installed in the 32-bit directory on Windows 64-bit machines, Editor will install in that directory with full Add-In capability.  If you work with massive Excel files and need 64-bit Office 2010, then you cannot install Editor's Add-In, though you can install and run the Standard Version of Editor in the 32-bit directory, and it will read 64-bit Word files.

If you're not sure whether your installed copy of Word is the 64-bit version, click the File tab, then Help.  Under "About Microsoft Word" is a Version line giving the bit information.
