When accessing a Microsoft Word document for the first time within nVIRO, you will be prompted to install the AceOffix plug-in on your computer. This provides the capability for in-browser editing of documents within the system. 

Below are the steps to install the plug-in.

Prerequisite

Note that Microsoft Word must be installed on your computer. 

Also, AceOffix will not function properly if two versions of Microsoft Word are installed on your computer. If that is the case, one version must be uninstalled. Also, if the plug-in was previously installed, it may need to be uninstalled and re-installed.



Step-by-Step Guide









(1.) When prompted to install AceOffix, click the OK button. You will be prompted to save pluginsetup.exe to your downloads folder.

(2.) Click the Save File button to download the installation file pluginsetup.exe.



(3.) After downloading the file, double-click pluginsetup.exe to start the install process. 

You will be prompted to close all browsers.

(4.) Close any open browsers (such as Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox) and then click the I have closed all the browsers checkbox to select it.

(5.) Click the Next > button.

(6.) Click the Install button to install AceOffix. If you have Microsoft Word open on your computer, you may be prompted to close it. If so, close Word.



(7.) Click the Next > button.

(8.) Upon completion, click the Finish button.

The setup is now complete. 



(9.) Re-open your browser and navigate to a document that you wish to edit. The document should now open in the browser-independent AceOffix browser window.





Set Word as the Default to Open Word Documents









The AceOffix browser ingrates with Microsoft Word utilizing the .docx file extension.   When previewing or opening a document template if you receive the following error, it will be necessary to set your program associations to use Microsoft Word for .docx file type.

In order to resolve this error, navigate to the file path highlighted in the picture, select .docx file extension and press the Save button.Â
