What is SimpleAddins?
SimpleAddins provides professional add-ins for Microsoft Word that streamline document preparation. Two products are available:
- Template Helper — scan documents for placeholder fields, fill them interactively, apply changes safely, and save reusable text clips.
- Working Document Helper — add tribunal colour coding to formatted text, process agreements, and clean up document markup.
Both add-ins run directly inside the Word task pane, so you never need to leave your document.
