Install LexBharat for Word manually
The add-in is not in the Microsoft store yet, so you add it by hand: download one small file and upload it in Word. This guide is for Word on the web and Word for Mac.
Before you start
- •A Microsoft 365 account, so you can open a document in Word on the web or Word for Mac.
- •The manifest file: the one small file Word needs.

Choose “Upload My Add-in”
In the Office Add-ins window, use Manage My Add-ins, then Upload My Add-in.

Click Browse
A small upload box appears. Click Browse so you can point Word at the manifest file you downloaded.
- 4
Pick the manifest.xml file
Select the saved file and click Open. This one small file tells Word where the add-in lives.
- 5
Click Upload
The filename appears in the box. Click Upload; the add-in appears on the ribbon in a moment.
- 6
Open the add-in and sign in
Sign in or create an account, or switch to the bring-your-own-key tab and paste your own AI key.
That’s it, you’re in
The add-in now lives in your Word ribbon. Open the task pane to look up statutes and regulations.
