Enable Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)

To use Acrolinx for Office on Windows, you’ll need to enable CORS on your Acrolinx Platform. Check out this article on how to enable CORS.

Optional: MSI Installer Properties

If you use the MSI installer to automate the installation of Acrolinx for Office, you can use the properties in the following table to specify preferences.

Property Use
ACROLINX_SERVER_ADDRESS

Specify the Acrolinx URL. When you do this, writers don't have to enter this information themselves. To set the Acrolinx URL, use the property ACROLINX_SERVER_ADDRESS.

msiexec /i OfficeV1.1.1.msi /qn ACROLINX_SERVER_ADDRESS=http://demo-inc.acrolinx.com

Caution

This property works for first-time installations only. Acrolinx ignores the property during an update and uses whichever Acrolinx URL is currently configured.
ADDLOCAL

Specify the Acrolinx Integrations you'd like to install. For example, you can just install the Acrolinx Integrations for Word and Excel instead of the full Office bundle.

Available features:

  • Feature.Office.Word
  • Feature.Office.Excel
  • Feature.Office.PowerPoint
  • Feature.Office.Outlook

Example 2.  

msiexec /q /i AcrolinxOfficeSidebarSetup.msi ADDLOCAL=Feature.Office.Word,Feature.Office.Excel


 
ACROLINX_MIP_PREVENTEMPTYLABELS

Specify if Acrolinx should check content that doesn't have a sensitivity label assigned. You'd normally assign this kind of label to sensitive content via Microsoft Purview Information Protection (MIP).

You can specify this property in Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. This isn't currently possible in Outlook.

Available values:

  • true
  • false

Example 3.  

msiexec.exe /i AcrolinxOfficeSidebarSetup.msi ACROLINX_SERVER_ADDRESS=https://demo.acrolinx.com ACROLINX_MIP_PREVENTEMPTYLABELS=true


 
ACROLINX_MIP_ACCEPTEDLABELS

Microsoft Purview Information Protection (MIP) lets you add sensitivity labels to your content. To prevent writers from using Acrolinx to check content with sensitive data, you can set up your Acrolinx for Office integration to check content with certain labels.

Caution

Acrolinx can't read sensitivity labels if co-authoring for encrypted files is enabled. Learn more about enabling co-authoring in the Microsoft documentation.

Configure the names of labels that you want Acrolinx to check. If you list more than one label, separate with a semicolon. The values aren't case sensitive. 

This currently works for Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, but not for Outlook.

For example, you might create the following labels:

Caution

The values must be the "Name" (NOT the "Display name") of the sensitivity label

  • general
  • custom label

Example 4.  

msiexec.exe /i AcrolinxOfficeSidebarSetup.msi ACROLINX_SERVER_ADDRESS=https://demo.acrolinx.com ACROLINX_MIP_ACCEPTEDLABELS=general;custom label
