You can now consistently present information and boost productivity without double handling in MS Word and Altus with the Altus for Word add-in.

This add-in is automatically activated within Microsoft Word unless your organisation has limitations on what add-ins can be installed. If you cannot see the Altus for Word Add-in after the app has been installed, click here for instructions on how to manually activate the add-in.

Let’s now learn how to connect your Microsoft Word application to your project record in the Altus app so you can begin adding Altus Project data into your document.

To connect a Word document to your Altus Project.:

1. Within the Altus for Word pane, click Sign In.
