Issue: Aceoffix opening in an MS Word Window instead of Ace Browser

Certain issues have been identified that cause Aceoffix to open in MS Word instead of the browser. This is most often caused by not having Word settings set to optimize for compatibility.

Setting Compatibility mode

Within your word program on your computer (not within Aceoffix):

• Open Word.
• Click Options.
• In the General options, click Optimize for Compatibility (application restart required).
  
  
• Click OK.
• Restart your PC.

Still not working?

Single Monitor?

1. Please use professional and higher versions of MS Office. Do not use the home version.
2. Please make sure that MS Office suite is fully installed.

Add-Ins?

Modify Word Add-in option:

1. Open up a local copy of Word

2. Select File > Options > Add-ins

3. Click GO on Manage COM Add-ins

4. A popup will appear, allowing you to remove Add-ins.

5. Select all Add-ins, EXCEPT Aceoffix Add-in, and click "Remove."

6. Click OK and restart your computer.

• If this solves the issue, you can add the necessary add-ins one by one to confirm which add-in caused the issue.
