Please ensure that you manually create a folder named ‘wef’ like the following at ~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Word/Data/Documents
Microsoft defines this special folder to enable local Add-ins in Word application. If this folder does not exist, the following reminder will pop up during GPTLocalhost installation.
After the “wef” folder is ready, GPTLocalhost will require your permission to install itself as a local Word Add-in. Please follow these steps.
Click “Install Word Add-in locally” to trigger the installation.

Next, the installation will pop up a dialog box with “wef” folder as the target to open. Please click “Open” button to grant access.
Once done, you will see the following confirmation.
After all settings, you can click “Done” in the following to finish the installation.
