Integrating ChatGPT into MS Word has never been easier with the ChatGPT plugin (add-in). You can download the add-in using the link below. It is absolutely free and and can run on all the versions of Office Desktop and Office 365. Also there are no prerequisites for using this add-in.
The ChatGPT Plugin for MS Word is completely free to use and compatible with all versions of MS Word. However, please note that the OpenAI API comes with applicable charges. These charges are quite affordable. They are determined based on how much you use the API. If you don't use the API at all during a particular month, you won't be billed for that period. For more comprehensive pricing details, it is recommended to refer to OpenAI's pricing documentation.
OpenAI's data privacy policy states that user data submitted through their API is not used to train their models. The inputs and outputs of the API are kept separate and are not used in the training process of their models. This commitment to data privacy ensures that user information remains secure and confidential while using the API.
Microsoft blocks external add-in files and says the source of this file is untrusted. To make the file trusted, you need to follow the steps below.
To make the add-in to be available each time you launch MS Word, you can save it in the Startup folder. Follow the steps below.
Follow the steps below to use ChatGPT add-in for MS Word.
If your active Word document is not saved in any location, it will prompt you to select the folder where you want to save the output file.
Resume Builder
You can generate resume with this add-in. It is important that you provide a clear and detailed prompt so that ChatGPT generates resume according to your requirements. Always be specific and try with multiple prompts for best outcome. See some of the examples below -
Write a professional resume for a [Profile Name]. I have [N] years of experience. My past titles and companies were [Title, Company Name]. Include bullet points.
Write a professional resume for a Data Scientist. I have 5 years of experience. My past titles and companies were Analyst, Barclays, Team Lead, JP Morgan. Include bullet points.

Email Writing
You can ask ChatGPT Add-in to draft email for you. Whether you need to send a formal business email or a friendly message to a colleague or friend, ChatGPT can help you write a professional and well-drafted message. You just need to provide the purpose of email and some context and ChatGPT will generate a well-written email for you. You can also choose the tone of email.
Write an email to manager about sick leave tomorrow. My Manager’s name is Dave. My name is Deep.
Write an email to colleague about personal leave tomorrow. My colleague’s name is Joe. My name is Deep. Tone should be informal.
It's also good to specify tone - formal / informal/ humorous.
Summary Writing
ChatGPT Add-in can be used to summarize lengthy word document for you. For example you have a long document and you are asked to create summary based on it. It may be time consuming and boring to read the whole text and then write summary.
Summarise the text below in bullet points - [PASTE TEXT HERE]
The Reset button starts a new Chat and removes prior conversation history. Use this button when you don't need chat history to generate output.
You can style MS Word Document by adding the following lines to the end of the prompt you ask ChatGPT
Note: In the next section we will see the source code of this add-in. If you are not interested in knowing the source code, you can skip the next section. The add-in and VBA code serve the same purpose.
The benefit of using add-in is that it opens automatically every time you open a new word document. Whereas MS Word Macro file is specific to a particular word document. You have to open the same macro file each time to access ChatGPT. Also the add-in performs formatting in the word document.
You can use the VBA Code below to run ChatGPT in MS Word. Make sure to change API Key (highlighted in bold below).
The following steps provide basic instructions for using VBA code in MS Word.
If you want to use ChatGPT-4, you can replace gpt-3.5-turbo with gpt-4 in the above VBA code.
In the above add-in/VBA code, you will come across a temperature parameter. It ranges from 0 to 2. Increasing the value, such as 1.2, will result in a more random output, whereas decreasing the value, like 0.2, will return a more focused output.
Error: You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details
Solution: To fix this issue, you will need to upgrade to a paid account that charges you based on your API usage. This is not ChatGPT Plus but a paid plan for using API. It's very affordable, would roughly cost you less than a dollar per month even when you use API extensively daily.
The error The model: gpt-4 does not exist means you don't have access to GPT-4 API. You must join the waitlist to access it. Your subscription to ChatGPT Plus (paid version of ChatGPT) does not guarantee automatic access to the GPT-4 API, regardless of whether you have it or not.
If you either mistakenly choose GPT-4 instead of GPT-3.5 or entered incorrect API Key, you can correct it by clicking the Update Key button to specify the correct Model Type and API Key. Once done, you can check it by clicking on the Check Key button.
Sometimes, the ChatGPT API acts strangely and starts producing errors. If the add-in was working fine for you before but is now returning errors, I suggest trying again a few more times. If the issue persists, please report it.
