Let’s face it: a lot of us still write in Microsoft Word. I know I do.
And in the corporate world, it’s not even an option. Microsoft apps are just what you use.
Why not do more at the point of creation?
You can already use our Scribe content marketing software in WordPress, Joomla, and in our web-based application for any CMS and any client. Today, you’ve got another option.
We’re pleased to announce Scribe for Microsoft Word. Now you can do research, optimization, and content promotion right in your native creation environment.
Here’s a quick video that shows you how it’s done:

A great addition! I haven’t taken the Scribe plunge yet, but we have been seriously discussing it.
This is awesome. Thanks for extending Scribe to MS Word – this is huge for guest articles, of which I write more than I do on my own WP site.
Jeff, guest blogging is one of the driving reasons why we created this version. The best part is that you can optimize and save the file for submission and they can open/review the content, even if they do not have Scribe installed.
This is a great addition for managing guest posts and optimising outside of the web experience. Thanks!
Scribe is cool,I use it on my wordpress help me focus on my keyword and seo puprose
This makes Scribe more useful. You just gave one more reason to grab Scribe
So, does this mean that Scribe will be coming out for other desktop platforms? Libre Office & SublimeText would be awesome to have Scribe hooked into.
Just what I’ve been waiting for! I’ve barely used my Scribe account since it stopped working with my caching plugin. I’ve missed it
Does it work with Word 2007? I have an older version on a laptop.
Sherice, it will not work with Word 2007 since we rely on certain functionality in the later versions of Word.
I love Scribe!
Question: If I already have Scribe for WordPress do I have access to Scribe for Word?
Yes, if you are a customer of Scribe currently then your API key will work with Scribe for Microsoft Word. Go to https://my.scribecontent.com and once you log in, you can download Scribe for Microsoft Word and then use the same API key you have for WordPress in the tool.
Congrats on the new product/feature
Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t click the “play” button on the video. Perhaps others are having the same problem and this is something you want to take a look at?
I just tried it on another computer and now I can play the video
That’s good news, I couldn’t figure what the issue was, because it seems to be playing for everyone else.
By the way Brian, love the sales copy. Very simple, laid back, and to the point.

Great opening couple of paragraphs!
Studying not just advice provided in the Copyblogger blog, but how you actually write copy, is very revealing…
Thanks, Fernando.
Very cool. I love Scribe and this makes it even cooler.
What happens if I email a Scribe-optimized document to a client who doesn’t have Scribe? Do they see the Scribe analysis?
Thank you!
Julia, they will not see the analysis if you email them the Word document. However, in the next release of Scribe for Word (which we are working on now), we will have a feature for you to create a separate report (similar to the one available in Scribe Web) so that you can email your clients a highly detailed analysis.
Very nice. I can already think of ways I would use that.
Thank you!
Scribe seems to be a very good tool to use, but it is is not compatible with Microsoft word older than Microsoft 2010
Nina, you are correct. We use certain features in Word that were not available until Word 2010 (Windows) and Word 2011 (Mac).
It’s a great tool for streamlining posts, especially if you make multiple blog updates in one day.
I’ve not been a MS Word guy, but the new cloud based Office 365 version interests me. Would Scribe work with that version?
It works with 2013, but not 365. The plan is to make it compatible in a future version.
Thanks buddy! I’ll just make sure to get the stand alone version and worry about 365 later.
Great addition!
Now, it’ll be more handy to enjoy the features of Scribe, right on the desktop.
Great information. I will excited to use Word more now.
I have completed the installation, but the I can not locate the personal tab when I open Word 2013. Where is the best place to find help. Thanks.
