BI Publisher Desktop install missing Word Add In
I installed BI Publisher Desktop on my PC but while trying to get the Add In to show up in the Word Ribbon I inadvertently removed the BI Publisher entry from the COMS Add In page within Word. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the desktop a couple of times but cannot get the BI Publisher Add-in to show up again under Word Options > Add-ins > COM Add-ins so that I can enable it. Start > Oracle BI Publisher Desktop > Enable or Disable Template Builder doesn't help, nor does Start > Oracle BI Publisher Desktop > Set Template Builder Language. I have also uninstalled & reinstalled Java, that hasn't solved the problem.
Here is what Word > Options > Add-ins > COM Add-ins looks like currently with Java & the BIP Desktop reinstalled:
I've searched through various files on the support website but none seems to address this particular issue.

Hello,
To resolve the issue test the following steps in a development instance and then migrate accordingly:
Check the Microsoft Word Com Add-Ins options for the following items and ensure they are active / enabled:
TBMenus2007 or TBmenus
1. Open Microsoft Word and Navigate -> File -> Options -> Add-Ins.
2. On the same page you will see function Manage : COM -add-ins, click GO button.
3. Add and enable TBMenus2007 if not already listed.
4. Save the changes and confirm Microsoft Word now displays the Add-In.

Thanks for your response. The problem is that once I've completed steps 1 and 2, there is no TBmenu or BI Publisher item available to enable. If I select the Add button and navigate to the C:\Program Files (x86) > Oracle or C:\Program Files (x86) > Oracle USA folders there are plenty of .dll files available but all that I try to select give me a "not a valid Office Add-in" message. Using the File Explorer search function, there are no files found that start with "TBmenu".
Do you know the proper filename that I can select when trying to manually Add the COM Add-in per step 3?

Were you able to resolve this issue. I am facing similar problem where the Template Builder AddIn is missing.

Use proper version of publisher addin as compatible to office and before installation check your MS office is 32 bit or 64 bit.
If it is 32 bit you need to install 32 bit publisher setup.

I'm facing the same problem, even I tried uninstalling and installing again. I just can see the BI tab at Excel but not at Word where I need.

Hello, I had same problem and the reason is I installed wrong BI publisher version. I am on 64 bit windows but installed 32 bit BI publisher version. When I installed latest 64 bit version, the problem is resolved.

I've got exactly the same problem.

Hi, I solved it by installing other version, for example the error was with version 12.213 and I installed 12.214 and with that I saw the BI tab at Word and at Excel.
