The Grammarly tab disappeared

If you installed Grammarly for MS Office but the Grammarly tab doesn't appear in MS Word or MS Outlook, please try running the installer with Administrator permissions.  

If this didn't help, we suggest that you launch the EnableGrammarly.exe file. It’s a couple of simple steps:

1. Close Word.
2. Press Win+R
3. Copy and paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\Grammarly\Grammarly for Microsoft Office Suite into the search line. This will open the Grammarly folder on your PC. Navigate to the folder with the latest Grammarly version.
4. There should be a folder with a name similar to B788D630FFA4301BCC50E5A81D7BE34; please open it.
5. Right click on EnableGrammarly.exe and select Run as administrator.
6. Press Open Grammarly.

If the Grammarly tab still doesn't appear or has simply disappeared, please try all of the following troubleshooting suggestions until it appears:

1. Open Word, click the round Microsoft Office button (or File), click Word Options, and then click Add-Ins.
2. In the View and Manage Microsoft Office Add-ins pane, in the Manage list, select COM Add-ins and click Go.
3. In the COM Add-Ins dialog box, see the add-ins that are available in MS Word.
4. Find and select Grammarly (if you don't see Grammarly, please see below).
5. See Load behavior at the bottom of the dialog box:

If it says "Not loaded. A runtime error occurred during the loading of the COM Add-in", then follow the instructions here: Unable to activate the add-in.

        

 

If you don't see "Grammarly" in the COM Add-ins dialog box, we suggest that you:

1. Uninstall Grammarly.
2. Install Grammarly for Microsoft® Office
3. Check for the Grammarly tab in Word or Outlook

If the Grammarly tab still didn't appear in your Word or Outlook, then:

1. Check which version of MS Word or Outlook you use (64-bit or 32-bit). See the image below:

        To learn more about how to check your Office version, please visit What version of Office am I using?

        — If you use the 64-bit version of Office 2016, please make sure you have MS Word or Outlook 2016 version 16.0.4266.1003 or higher. Install Office 2016 updates.

        — If you use Office 365, check for updates and install the latest Office 365 update.

        — If you use Microsoft Office Click-to-Run, please switch to MSI-based Office.

    2.   Then, after you have updated Office, please uninstall and install Grammarly for Microsoft® Office again.

    3.   See if the Grammarly tab has appeared in Word or Outlook.

3. In the COM Add-Ins dialog box, you will see the add-ins that are available in MS Word.
4. Click the Add button.

   • Copy and paste the following line into the File name text field:

   • Hit Enter. This will open the Grammarly folder.
   • Open the folder named after the latest version of the Grammarly add-in (e.g. 6.5.38) that you have just installed.
   • Open the folder named something similar to B788D630FFA4301BCC50E5A81D7BE34 (this line looks different every time)

   If you have the 32-bit Office, select the file GrammarlyShim32.dll
7. Click OK.
