System Requirements
LawVu Draft works with recent versions of Microsoft Word on Windows, Mac, and Word Online.
Platform | Supported versions |
Windows | ✅Microsoft 365 (recommended) or Word versions that support WebView2 |
Mac | ✅ Microsoft 365 |
Browser | ✅Word Online (any modern browser) |
Some older versions of Word may work but with reduced functionality. Word 2016 may work if WebView2 is installed, but some advanced features (layout and metadata) are disabled.
LawVu Draft works with all modern browsers. Unsupported browsers include Internet explorer and legacy Microsoft Edge ( non-Chromium).
Blank screen
If you get a blank LawVu Draft screen in Word, then you unfortunately have an unsupported combination of Windows and/or Word. In this case:
Try to install WebView2 from the Microsoft site. Often, this immediately resolves the problem.
Upgrade your version of Microsoft Office. As pointed out above, Office 365 works best.
It very infrequently happens that your corporate security layers (e.g., malware scanners) block items. Check with your IT department.
Installing LawVu Draft in MS Word
Installing LawVu is usually quick and easy. If your IT department allows users to install add-ins, you can install LawVu directly from Word.
Steps:
Open Microsoft Word.
Go to the Insert tab in the toolbar.
Click Get Add-ins (or Store, depending on your Word version).
4. Search for LawVu Draft.

5. Click Add to install the add-in.
Once installed, the LawVu panel will appear in Word and you can sign in to start using it.
If you cannot install the add-in
If the Get Add-ins option is disabled, your organization may restrict add-in installations.
In this case, please contact your IT department or refer to our Enterprise deployment below for instructions on how administrators can install the add-in for your organization.
LawVu Draft in Word on the Web
LawVu Draft is also supported in Word on the web.
When deployed for the desktop version of Word, it is automatically available in Word on the web; therefore, no additional installation is required.

Enterprise deployment
In some organizations, users are not allowed to install add-ins in Microsoft Word. If this restriction is in place, the Get Add-ins button will appear greyed out.
If this happens, contact your IT administrator, who can grant permission to install the add-in or deploy it for your organization.
LawVu Draft is deployed through the Microsoft 365 Admin Center using Microsoft AppSource. There is no installer file (such as .MSI or .EXE). This is standard for modern Microsoft Office add-ins.

LawVu Draft uses Microsoft’s modern Office add-in framework. Deployment follows the same process as other Office add-ins.
