What is the correct way to add an add-in in Office 2010 (esp. Word)?

Hello,

I am running Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 (DNS) and Office 2010 and although DNS is functioning fine in Excel, it is doing nothing in Word.  

In checking for the add-ins, I found the Excel add-in to be present (listed as NatSpeak Excel AddIn).  However, the Word add-in is nowhere to be found.  I have found it in the past to be disabled but never to be completely absent.

Going back to the add-ins option area in Excel, I found that the DNS add-in file for Excel is called:

          dgnexcel.dll

and resides in the following directory:

          C:\Program Files (x86)\Nuance\NaturallySpeaking10\Program\dgnexcel.dll

Next I browsed to that same directory in Windows Explorer, and scrolling down, found a file called:

          dgnword.dll

which seems pretty obviously to be the DNS add-in for Word.


Going back to the Word add-in area, I snooped around for a way to designate that file or browse to the folder in which it is contained but could find nothing.

What is the correct way to add an add-in in Word 2010?

Thanks
