Microsoft Office 2016 Mac Add-ins

You can now get Office Add-ins from the Store or use Add-ins you already have from right within recent versions of Word for Mac and Excel for Mac.

  1. Apr 05, 2018 How to Use Microsoft Office Add-ins. There are a lot of different ways to use Microsoft Office applications—the various Mac and PC versions of Office (including Office 2013, 2016, and the Office 365 subscriptions), with the newer mobile apps for iOS and Android, or with the Office Online free web apps.
  2. Further restrictions imposed by Apple to comply with sandboxing rules add complexity to programming Office 2016 on the Mac. If you want to code VBA for Office 2016 you'll have to code in some other suite (Office 2011, 2013, 2016 for Windows).
  3. Click the Microsoft Office Button, click Word Options, and then click Add-Ins. In the Add-ins box, identify the add-in that you want to enable or disable and note the add-in type located in the Type column. Select the add-in type in the Manage box and then click Go. Select or clear the check box for the add-in.
  4. Sep 04, 2015 VSTO add-ins are based on the COM technology which doesn't exists on MACs. As for VBA support, take a look at the Visual Basic for Application forum thread for more information. The current forum is for Windows based Office applications (VSTO in particular). Office 2016 for Mac supports Office Apps (i.e. Web based add-ins).

  6. In Excel, choose ToolsTemplates and Add-ins. In the Global Templates and Add-ins section, select the problem add-in. Make a note of its location under Full path:, then close Excel. In the Finder, hold down the Alt key while clicking on the Go menu and choosing Library. Your user library folder will open.

Nov 26, 2019 To be able to debug Office Add-ins on Mac, you must have Mac OS High Sierra AND Mac Office Version: 16.9.1 (Build 18012504) or later. If you don't have an Office Mac build, you can get one by joining the Office 365 Developer Program.

There are two kinds of add-ins: Office Add-ins from the Office Store (which use web technologies like HTML, CSS and JavaScript) and add-ins made by using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).

Requirements

Office Add-ins aren't available in Office for Mac 2011. They're only available in newer versions.

You can use runtime logging to debug your add-in's manifest as well as several installation errors. This feature can help you identify and fix issues with your manifest that are not detected by XSD schema validation, such as a mismatch between resource IDs. Runtime logging is particularly useful for debugging add-ins that implement add-in commands and Excel custom functions.

Note

The runtime logging feature is currently available for Office 2016 desktop.

Important

Runtime Logging affects performance. Turn it on only when you need to debug issues with your add-in manifest.

Use runtime logging from the command line

Enabling runtime logging from the command line is the fastest way to use this logging tool. These use npx, which is provided by default as part of npm@5.2.0+. If you have an earlier version of npm, try Runtime logging on Windows or Runtime logging on Mac instructions, or install npx.

  • To enable runtime logging:

  • To enable runtime logging only for a specific file, use the same command with a filename:

  • To disable runtime logging:

  • To display whether runtime logging is enabled:

  • To display help within the command line for runtime logging:

Runtime logging on Windows

  1. Make sure that you are running Office 2016 desktop build 16.0.7019 or later.

  2. Add the RuntimeLogging registry key under HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftOffice16.0WEFDeveloper.

    Note

    If the Developer key (folder) does not already exist under HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftOffice16.0WEF, complete the following steps to create it:

    1. Right-click the WEF key (folder) and select New > Key.
    2. Name the new key Developer.

  3. Set the default value of the RuntimeLogging key to the full path of the file where you want the log to be written. For an example, see EnableRuntimeLogging.zip.

    Note

    The directory in which the log file will be written must already exist, and you must have write permissions to it.

The following image shows what the registry should look like. To turn the feature off, remove the RuntimeLogging key from the registry.

Runtime logging on Mac

  1. Make sure that you are running Office 2016 desktop build 16.27 (19071500) or later.

  2. Open Terminal and set a runtime logging preference by using the defaults command:

    <bundle id> identifies which the host for which to enable runtime logging. <file_name> is the name of the text file to which the log will be written.

    Set <bundle id> to one of the following values to enable runtime logging for the corresponding host:

    • com.microsoft.Word
    • com.microsoft.Excel
    • com.microsoft.Powerpoint
    • com.microsoft.Outlook

The following example enables runtime logging for Word and then opens the log file:

Note

You'll need to restart Office after running the defaults command to enable runtime logging.

To turn off runtime logging, use the defaults delete command:

Use runtime logging to troubleshoot issues with your manifest

To use runtime logging to troubleshoot issues loading an add-in:

  1. Sideload your add-in for testing.

    Note

    We recommend that you sideload only the add-in that you are testing to minimize the number of messages in the log file.

  2. If nothing happens and you don't see your add-in (and it's not appearing in the add-ins dialog box), open the log file.

  3. Search the log file for your add-in ID, which you define in your manifest. In the log file, this ID is labeled SolutionId.

In the following example, the log file identifies a control that points to a resource file that doesn't exist. For this example, the fix would be to correct the typo in the manifest or to add the missing resource.

Known issues with runtime logging

You might see messages in the log file that are confusing or that are classified incorrectly. For example:

Microsoft Office 2016 Mac Add-ins Free

  • The message Medium Current host not in add-in's host list followed by Unexpected Parsed manifest targeting different host is incorrectly classified as an error.

  • If you see the message Unexpected Add-in is missing required manifest fields DisplayName and it doesn't contain a SolutionId, the error is most likely not related to the add-in you are debugging.

  • Any Monitorable messages are expected errors from a system point of view. Sometimes they indicate an issue with your manifest, such as a misspelled element that was skipped but didn't cause the manifest to fail.
