Get the Most Out of Grammarly

Get the most out of Grammarly with Plug-ins or Extensions!

There are computer and browser add-ons and plug-ins you can use to get help from Grammarly within Microsoft Word and Outlook, web browsers, and from your desktop!


Microsoft Office Plug-in for Windows

The Microsoft Office plug-in for Windows conveniently adds Grammarly to Microsoft Word and Microsoft Outlook. When creating a document, Grammarly will appear on the right-hand side and provide suggestions, as the online editor does.

For greatest ease and simplicity of use, the Library recommends that you install the Microsoft Office Plug-in. 


Desktop App for Windows and MacOS

The desktop app installs a shortcut on your computer's desktop to provide quick and easy access to Grammarly. Its usage is identical to the online editor. The desktop app is available for both Windows and MAcOS.


Browser extensions

Browser extensions allow Grammarly to check writing entered in text boxes within a web browser, including the Gmail Compose box.


You can also use the Grammarly Keyboard App for iOS and Android devices.
Go to the App Store or the Google Play Store and download the free app. You may need to read the How to Install pages for your device's operating system to complete setup: How to Install on iOS ... How to Install on Android.
