Our Lexeri Office add-in integrates term checks into one of the most common word processing environments, whether it is directly in Word Editor itself or in a Word-based editor within an editing system.

Using the Office add-in
Signing into the Office add-in
If you are not yet singed into Lexeri, you will be asked to sign in with your Lexeri login details.
Select the ‘Register’ tab to register as a new user of Lexeri if you do not yet have a user account.
Term check in a Word text
After installation or signing in, you can check Word documents directly for correct terminology based on a termbase.
To check the current Word document:
- Open the ‘Lexeri’ tab
- Click on ‘Term Checks’
- The Lexeri add-in will open in the sidebar
- Click on ‘Check document’.
The document is uploaded to Lexeri and analysed, and the terms found are listed on the right-hand side.
Term results
Select the drop down arrow in a term result to expand the hit and access additional information about the term.
You will see information from the termbase such as usage hints for the term entry.
The colour of the found term and the icon on the left in the term hit indicate the term’s usage status.
The preferred term from the term entry is shown beneath the found term from Word text.
Below that you will find a list of all cases in which the term occurs in the text, together with the context.
Clicking on the eye icon next to the text excerpt highlights the text passage in the Word document and you can see the text passage in which the term was found.
Detecting spelling and punctuation
In addition to the term hits from the termbase, the top section of the hit list also displays, shown in pink, incorrect spellings in the text that deviate from the spelling of a preferred term from the termbase.
For example, you can detect words in the text with incorrect capitalisation, incorrect hyphens or other incorrect compound words without having to explicitly add all incorrect spellings of a term to the database as forbidden terms.
