  3. If you are not signed in to your Microsoft account, please do so to continue. Please note that you should sign in with a Microsoft account, not a QuillBot account, at this step, and that you need a Microsoft account in order to download extensions from the Appsource page.

  5. This will direct you to a new page, 
    Click on "Open in Word" to continue.
     
  6. This will open a new browser prompt. Select "Word" in the prompt, and then click "Open Link". This allows Word to open and install the extension.
     
  7. Word will now open and give you a page explaining how to find the extension. QuillBot will have opened on the right-hand side. Remember to click "Trust this Extension", as you will be unable to use the extension otherwise.
