Microsoft Editor Browser Extension

May 1, 2025

Perhaps you caught our previous blog post on Microsoft’s Editor, and love how it’s built right into Office applications such as Word and Outlook. But also perhaps, you were left wishing it was available in more places… that it was available, say, in Edge?

Well, it is!

There is an Editor Browser extension available in the Edge Add-ons store, and it’s free! It works in both Edge and Chrome browsers… though if you’ve been following the blog for awhile now, you’d know that there are plenty of reasons that we suggest Edge over Chrome.

Requirements

Certain features of the Editor extension require you to have a Microsoft account. Though, never fret! Your RRC Polytech academic email is a Microsoft account! When you first open the Editor browser extension, you’ll be prompted to sign in with your Microsoft account (academic email).
