ChatGPT for Word: free plans can draft and edit inside documents

OpenAI's ChatGPT for Word add-in lets you draft, summarize, edit selected text, and adjust headings and formatting without leaving Word. The same add-in covers Excel and PowerPoint.

What is included

• Eligibility: The source lists Free, Go, Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, Edu, Teachers, and K–12 plans. Availability can still depend on the Microsoft tenant and account.
• Features: Draft from notes, summarize a document, rewrite selected text, and adjust headings or layout.
• Usage: Requests use the token limits of your ChatGPT plan. Paid plans with Codex or other advanced features may share limits.
• Office apps: The same Microsoft add-in covers Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

How to install

1. Open the official ChatGPT for Word page or search Microsoft Marketplace for ChatGPT published by OpenAI.
2. Install the Microsoft Marketplace add-in.
3. Open ChatGPT from the Word ribbon and sign in with your ChatGPT account.
4. If a work or school device blocks installation, ask the Microsoft or ChatGPT workspace administrator to allow the add-in.

Free accounts may receive a more limited model selection, and tenant policies or Office versions can block the add-in. Check the models and permissions shown in your own Word installation. Related discussion: linux.do.
