Fixing the CorrectEnglish AddIn in Word 2007

CorrectEnglish is integrated into Microsoft Word and Outlook for quick access to the robust proofing, editing, and formatting tools and feedback at a click.

If you do not see the CorrectEnglish 'ribbon' in your Word and Outlook 2007 toolbars, or it disappears, you may need to manually enable the CorrectEnglish AddIn.

Part 1 - Checking AddIn Status in CorrectEnglish

Open CorrectEnglish.
Click OPTIONS in the upper-right corner of the CorrectEnglish console.
Check the Word AddIn status at the lower right corner of the OPTIONS panel.

If the Word AddIn status is "Word is loaded at startup and is loaded," close CorrectEnglish and proceed to Part 2.
If the Word AddIn status is "Word is loaded at startup but is not loaded," click the "Fix Word AddIn" link. If you receive any error messages at this time, please record them and contact ce-support@vantage.com immediately. Otherwise, close CorrectEnglish and proceed to Part 2.

Part 2 - Enabling COM AddIn Status in Word 2007

Open Microsoft Word 2007.
Click the "Office" icon in the upper-left corner of the Word screen. This menu includes Save, Print, Publish, etc.
Click Word Options at the bottom of the Office menu.
Click Add-Ins on the left sidebar of the Word Options panel.
At the bottom of the Add-Ins screen, select Manage: COM Add-Ins from the dropdown menu.
Check for CorrectEnglish on the list of COM Add-Ins.

If CorrectEnglish is on the list, make sure the box next to it is checked and click OK to close the Word Options. CorrectEnglish should now be a ribbon in Word and Outlook.
If CorrectEnglish is NOT on the list, click Cancel and proceed to Part 3.

Part 3 - Checking the Disabled Items list for CorrectEnglish

Open the Word Options and go to the Add-Ins view (steps 2-4 above).
At the bottom of the Add-Ins screen, select Manage: Disabled Items from the dropdown menu.
Check for CorrectEnglish on the list of Disabled Items.
