Claude doesn't have a Word add-in.
It doesn't need one.
Here's the workflow.
Copy. Paste. Claude.
Microsoft 365 doesn't integrate with Claude natively. That's fine: the copy-paste workflow is faster than you'd think, and it works for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. These guides walk you through it.
