We didn’t want to start a new project on old tech, but for a while the only option was to build the add-in with Visual Basic Script. Year after year, we’ve been evaluating this project. Here we’ll tell the story of the sometimes rocky road to our much-anticipated add-in for Word on Mac. The path to get there was not always straightforward or direct.
There were many roadblocks to making this happen at the quality we expect for all of our offerings-but we were finally able to release Grammarly for Microsoft Word on Mac in beta at the end of 2019, followed by a full release in March 2020. Mac users have been feeling left out: an add-in for Word on Mac has long been a top requested feature.
For more than six years, we’ve supported Grammarly’s add-in for Word and Outlook on Windows.
