Add ChatGPT to Word, PowerPoint and Excel [1]
How do I add ChatGPT to Word, PowerPoint and Excel?
- Open Word, PowerPoint or Excel on your computer.
- On the Home tab, select Add-ins.
- Search for ChatGPT and select Add. You might need to wait a few minutes before you see the add-in on your ribbon.
- Select ChatGPT on the ribbon to open the side panel.
- Sign in to your ChatGPT Edu account.
Once it's installed, you'll see ChatGPT in the other two apps as well.
What if I don't see ChatGPT in the ribbon?
Access is controlled in two places, and both need to allow it:
- ChatGPT Edu: A workspace administrator can turn the add-in on or off.
- Microsoft 365: An administrator must also allow the add-in. If it doesn't appear in your ribbon or in the Add-ins search, this is the most likely cause.
Contact the UIS Service Desk [3] if you are unable to add ChatGPT to your ribbon.
Tips for getting started
- Make a copy first. Duplicate important files before asking ChatGPT to make big changes, so you can easily go back.
- Check the output. Results can be incomplete or wrong. Review everything before you use it.
