    There are variables involved based on Grammarly, Word & macOS Version permutations. Also, Grammarly is not a Microsoft product.

    Your fastest & most accurate response based on tour specs should be available if you Contact Grammarly Support.

    Hi @StillHere0511, if Grammarly does not appear in the list of add-ins in Microsoft Word on your Mac and is not found in the Applications folder, it's possible that it is integrated as a service rather than a standalone application. In such cases, you might need to disable or remove it through Word settings. Here are steps to uninstall Grammarly from Word on Mac:

    1. Word Add-ins: Open Microsoft Word on your Mac.
    2. Navigate to Add-ins:
      • Click on "Word" in the menu bar.
      • Choose "Preferences."
    3. Manage Add-ins:
      • In the Preferences window, select "General."
      • Look for "Manage" next to "Manage: COM Add-ins" and click on it.
    4. Disable Grammarly:
      • In the Manage COM Add-ins dialog, check if Grammarly is listed.
      • If you find Grammarly, uncheck the box next to it or use the appropriate option to disable it.
    5. Restart Word:
      • Close and restart Microsoft Word to apply the changes.

    Hi

    As Bob said, you should contact Grammarly for support. On their pages they show that Grammarly adds a tab to the Ribbon. I'm only taking a guess, here, and I don't have Grammarly to check this out, but here goes:

    In Finder, press Shift+Command+L to display the hidden library folder.

    Then follow down this path to the Word Startup items folder and see if there's a Grammarly something in there. If yes, then move it to the Mac OS trash, restart your Mac, and then empty the trash.

    If you follow the link Bob provided, you'll discover Grammarly has ended support for Microsoft Word desktop and is now limiting support to the web applications.

If you use macOS 10.14 or newer, we suggest switching to Grammarly for Mac, which supports integration with multiple applications and websites, including Microsoft Office apps. Alternatively, if you work on longer documents, we encourage you to give the Grammarly Editor a try.

    Yes, I did first try grammarly for help. They couldn’t help me beyond uninstall it as an add-on to word or within applications on finder. If you can’t help me beyond that, okay. Perhaps someone else here can. thanks.
