About WordModulePlus Installation

WordModulePlus is a component that enables the viewing and editing of Microsoft Word and Excel files directly within a Policy & Procedure Management browser window or in a separate but linked application window (undocked mode).

Important: WordModulePlus is built on an outdated technology that is no longer supported by Microsoft. Therefore, if possible, it is recommended to use Office Online instead. Office Online requires a Microsoft 365 Business subscription but does NOT require any installation on user computers.

You can install WordModulePlus using one of the following methods.

  • Default Installation Method. When Policy & Procedure Management is installed, the files necessary for a user to install WordModulePlus are placed in the application's directory structure on the server. The first time a user opens a Word document in Policy & Procedure Management, the user is prompted to download and install WordModulePlus from the application's server. No administrator help is required, but users must have local administrator rights.

  • Manual Installation Method. Someone with local administrator rights for users' computers, such as a network administrator, logs on to each Policy & Procedure Management user's computer and installs WordModulePlus from a network drive.
