The Acuite - MS Word integration is provided as an add-in to MS Word which needs to be installed in the user’s environment. There are two versions: one for users installing the add-in on their own machines, and one for IT administrators installing the add-in on a Terminal Server (Remote Desktop Services) environment.
Terminal Server installation:
Requirements:
You must have administrative access to the Terminal Server
The installer requires that MS Word is not in use by users, which may mean that the installation process happens outside of business hours
Additional Notes:
The auto-update feature works a little differently in this version. The add-in will install a windows service which manages the update process. It will check for newer versions once a day, and when an upgrade is available, it will be automatically installed. This upgrade can happen even if users are running MS Word – they will simply receive the newer version the next time they restart. The updater logs information to the Event Log for monitoring/diagnostic purposes.
Setup Process:
The installer can be downloaded from https://app.acuite.io/integrations/ms-word/allusers/download-plugin (note that this is a different link from the local installer)
Open an elevated command prompt (run as administrator)
Put Terminal Server in ‘install’ mode (change user /install)
Run the installer from the command prompt
Put Terminal Server in ‘execute’ mode (change user /execute)
To verify the installation, log in as a different user (not the administrator who installed the add-in), run MS Word, and check that the ‘Acuite’ menu is available
