Word Addins not available when opening document from intranet - ms-word

I have a docm file with a ribbon and some buttons on it. Whenever I open the file via Webbrower, my ribbon is not available. When I save the file and open it again, the ribbon appears again.
I tried to add my intranet site as a trusted site in the internet settings, and i disabled the "protected view" in word. Im using office 2010.
Anyone having an idea, why word doesn't show my ribbon?

How to Add Custom Option in MS Word File Menu by Office Addin using manifest.xml

How can we add a custom option in "File Menu/Tab" by custom "Office Addin"?
I can find how to add "Control" in an office tab using "ExtensionPoint". But I am unable to find how can we add a custom option in "File Menu". Following are the documentation links I have gone through.

The Backstage UI can't be customized with web add-ins. See Add-in commands for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word for more information about possible customizations.
Feature requests on Tech Community are considered, when the dev team go through the planning process. Use the github label: “Type: product feature request” at https://aka.ms/M365dev-suggestions .
FYI these customizations are possible using COM add-ins, so you may also consider creating a VSTO based add-in instead, see Walkthrough: Create your first VSTO Add-in for Outlook.

Make OfficeJs Word Add-in always appear on the ribbon

I am IT for a big organization and I am able to make sure COMM and VSTO Word Add-in always appear on the users's ribbon.
However, we just got a OfficeJs Word Addin, deployed using Sharepoint Catalog as we have Exchange on Prem for O365. I am not able to make it pop up for the users.
Users need to go to My Add-ins, Admin managed/Share folder and then add the Addin. This is decreasing the traction as users are forgetting how to get there.
Any recommendations? Thanks in advance

word add-in debugging task pane app in office online

I recently updated my Microsoft Word task pane add-in and resubmitted it through the seller dashboard. After doing this, I got a document with a set of issues.
Based on the advice in this link (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/testing/debug-add-ins-in-office-online
), I was able to obtain a office 365 developer account.
Now, I am trying to debug my word add-in in office online. I added the local manifest pointing to localhost (https) from Settings->Add-ins->Upload the manifest file.
However, when I open a document and try to load the app, it is not found either in the store or in the admin managed addins.
I am also not finding my existing deployed app format in the office online store.
Can you point me in the right direction to see the app in the office store?
Also, how do I debug the app to fix the issues in office online?
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.
You can upload your add-in for testing in Word Online by opening the insert tab on the ribbon, clicking Office Add-ins, clicking Upload My Add-in and uploading your manifest file.
Your add-in will appear in the My Add-ins section of the Office Add-ins window, and in the relevant ribbon location (add-in dependent) of the Word Online ribbon.

Remove add-in in saved document

If I save a Word document with my add-in open and opens the document on another computer that does not have my add-in installed, Word asks if the user trusts the add-in. If the user chooses to trust the add-in it is installed on the user computer. Is there any way to avoid this behavior.
My add-in is used to insert comments in to the document but the add-in is not meant for the recipients of the document.
It only seems to be the case on Mac.
As you have seen, when you close a taskpane, it is not really removed from the document -- it is just "hidden". If you want to "export out" a document and have the taskpane removed completely, go to Info -> Check for Issues, make sure that the "Task Pane Add-ins" is checked, click "Inspect", and then confirm that you want the taskpanes removed.

How Does Microsoft Office knows if a document was downloaded from the internet?

Does anyone knows how Microsoft Office knows if a document was downloaded from the internet?
When I open a Word document that was downloaded from the internet, for example, it opens it in some kind of a safe mode..
How Does Office knows the file was downloaded from the internet?
Is it possible to bypass this protected view (by signature for example)?
As explained in the Microsoft Office 2010 Engineering Blog:
When a file is downloaded from the Internet the Windows Attachment Execution Service places a marker in the file’s alternate data stream to indicate it came from the Internet zone. When a Word, Excel or PowerPoint file is opened and has this marker it will open in Protected View until the user decides to trust and edit it.
The blog linked above goes into more detail as does this document:
Plan Protected View settings for Office 2013
You can bypass protected view manually within Word by going to
File|Options|Trust Center|Protected View
And then clearing the check box for "Enable Protected View for files originating from the Internet"
For additional information see:
How to Disable Protected View in Microsoft Office While Opening Email Attachments or Downloaded Files
On an enterprise level, use the Office Customization Tool and Group Policy to change registry keys to permanently disable the protected view for Internet files. This should get you started:
