Lattice for Word

Pick papers from your Lattice projects and insert them as citations in a Word document. Add a reference list, then switch the citation style (APA, Vancouver, AMA, Nature, the Lancet and thousands more) and everything reformats together. When you're done, one button turns it all into plain text.

Download the add-in file

Sign in with your Lattice account inside Word. The add-in reads your project names and papers. It never reads the text of your document.

Good to know

  • This is an early version. Installing it by hand is the rough part, and a one-click install from Microsoft's store is planned.
  • References carry the title, authors, journal, year and DOI from your library, and volume and pages when the DOI registry has them. Check them before you submit.
  • Citations are Word content controls. If you move a citation, refresh to renumber.
  • Google Docs isn't supported yet.
