SAI Installation

SAI Software Requirements

The SAI works with the following versions of Word:

  • Word 2013 (PC)
  • Word 2016 (PC)
  • Word 2019 (PC)
  • Word 2021 (PC)
  • Word 2016 (Mac)
  • Word 2019 (Mac)
  • Word 2021 (Mac)

Scribe’s goal is to keep the SAI up to date with the latest edition of Word in Office 365.

Download the SAI

  1. For simple organization, create an “SAI” folder on your computer so all SAI-related files can be saved in one place.
  2. In order for the SAI to work correctly, first download two additional necessary files. They can both be found in the scml-word-templates package. Download this zip file and extract its contents.
    • scr-scmllist.txt Copy this file to your SAI folder.
    • scr-word-template.dot Copy this file to your SAI folder.
  3. To download and install the SAI, go to Downloads. If you do not see a download for the SAI, you will need to log in to your Scribe account before proceeding. Download the SAI and save the zipped file in your SAI folder.

Install

  1. Unzip SAI-setup.zip, close Word if it is open, and then double-click SAI-setup.doc to open it in Word. You may be prompted to close any open documents.
  2. Enable macros if prompted.
  3. Fill in the registration information and review the terms. Select I Agree and click OK to send your registration to Scribe (requires an internet connection; a web browser will open, and your registration information will be passed to Scribe’s site).
  4. Word will close automatically. The next time you open Word, the SAI should be the second tab in your ribbon (after File). In Word 2011, the SAI will appear as a command bar at the top of the screen (and can be moved anywhere). If you are prompted to set the location of your scr-word-template or scmllist, click OK and do so. Some features will work without one or the other of these resource files, but the SAI may be slower. Some features will not work at all if neither resource is present.

See the Troubleshooting page for troubleshooting help.

Installing Updates: New versions of the SAI may be installed in the same manner. The locations of the scr-word-template and scr-scmllist files will remain set from the initial installation.

Uninstall

The SAI is installed in the Word STARTUP folder as SAI.dotm. To uninstall, you can delete this file or move it into another folder. The SAI is easily uninstalled in three steps:

  1. Find the SAI.dotm in the Word STARTUP folder.

    If you’re on a PC, the STARTUP folder will likely be located at this address on your computer (replace [USERNAME] with your username): C:\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP

    If you’re on a Mac, the STARTUP folder will likely be located at this address (replace [USERNAME] with your username): /Users/[USERNAME]/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/User Content.localized/Startup.localized/Word/

    (You may not see “.localized” when navigating to the folder in Finder.)

  2. Delete or move the SAI.dotm file.

  3. Restart Microsoft Word.

The SAI should no longer be there.
