    Does the Add-in appear under one of the three buttons for Add-ins in the Add-ins section of the Developer tab of the ribbon?

    Hi David,

    What's the name of that add-in?

    Please open Command Prompt and run the following commands:

    reg query "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins"

reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins"

    (The above command queries the list of registered AddIns.)

    Copy the output and post it in your next reply.
