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 aging technology that Microsoft no longer supports. We suggest using the Office Online Module instead of WordModulePlus if possible. Office Online Module requires a Microsoft 365 Business subscription but does NOT require that anything be installed 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.
