Word 365 Installation of RefWorks Citation Manager

Installing the Add-in: if using Jefferson's Microsoft Office Word application: 

  • Staff: request IS&T via the Service Now Portal for installation (Request Something Other Request) to the attention of Information Security GRC. Specify which Word version you want to install: online, desktop, or both.  For desktop Word, East Falls staff should include the computer name (control panel > system > device name, e.g., EF-campuskey.facstaff.philau.edu) and Center City staff should include the asset tag number (PCS or APC). Once available in Word, activate it from the Insert tab > My Add-ins > Admin Managed.
  • Students: IS&T request is not needed for installation: (desktop Word) activate the plugin from the Microsoft Store; (online Word) install via Add-ins.
