I can't sign in to SmartCite / SmartCite won't load in Word

If SmartCite will not launch in Word, or it is going slowly, the best way to start troubleshooting is by removing & re-installing the add-in.

To Remove and re-install the SmartCite add-in:

Open Word 2016 to any document

Click the top “Insert” tab, then the “My Add-ins” button

In the “Office Add-ins” window that pops up, right click SmartCite and “Remove”

Restart your computer

Open Word 2016 and re-install SmartCite following the original directions:

Click on the “Insert” tab in the top ribbon, then click on “My Add-ins”.

Click on “Store” in the add-in popup, and search for “SmartCite”.

Click the “Add” button to install in your Word app.

After it’s added, you can open SmartCite by clicking the “My Add-ins” button - the SmartCite add-in will be listed under the “My Add-ins” section. Click on it to start using it.
