Feature Request: Codex for Microsoft Word Add-in (macOS & Windows)
OpenAI Developer Community
April 27, 2026
As many of us use Codex for coding and productivity, it would be incredibly valuable to have an official Microsoft Word add-in powered by Codex.
Use cases:
• Rewrite and improve academic/professional documents
• Fix formatting, headings, references, tables, TOC
• Generate reports directly inside Word
• Continue drafts from notes/prompts
• Convert rough content into polished documents
• Resume/CV optimization
• Thesis/dissertation assistance with structure and editing
Why this matters:
Many users work daily in Microsoft Word, not only in browsers or code editors. Having Codex directly inside Word would save time, reduce copy-paste workflow, and bring AI productivity into real document environments.
Ideal features:
• Sidebar chat assistant
• Selected text rewrite/improve
• Full document formatting assistant
• Table/chart generation
• Citation/reference cleanup
• Template generation
• Secure local file handling
Codex in IDEs is great — Codex in Word would unlock a massive professional and student audience too.
Would love to see an official OpenAI Word Add-in.
