Removing "Tabs for Microsoft Word"

(Русская версия: UNINSTALL_RU.md.)

Normal uninstall (one minute)

  1. Close Microsoft Word (every window).
  2. Double-click Uninstall.cmd (it sits next to Install.cmd in the folder you installed from).
  3. The message "UNINSTALL COMPLETE" appears. That is all.

Everything goes: the program files, the registry entries and the logs. Your Word documents are not touched in any way.

If Uninstall.cmd is gone

You can remove it by hand:

  1. Close Word.
  2. Press Win+R, type regedit, press Enter.
  3. Delete these keys (right-click → Delete):
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\TabsForWord.Connect
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\TabsForWord.Connect
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\TabsForWord.TabStripControl
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{A3B7C9D1-5E2F-4A6B-8C0D-1F2E3D4C5B6A}
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{D4E5F6A7-8B9C-4D0E-A1B2-C3D4E5F6A7B8}
    • the same two CLSID keys under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\WOW6432Node\CLSID if they are there (they exist so that 32-bit Word can see the add-in)
  4. Delete the folder %LOCALAPPDATA%\TabsForWord (paste that path into the Explorer address bar).

Turning it off without removing it

File → Options → Add-ins → "Manage: COM Add-ins" → "Go…" → clear the tick next to "Tabs for Word" → OK. To switch it back on, tick it again.
