Start Word without Add Ins

Question

Is there any way to start MS Word (only this instance) without Add Ins? I only find a way to disable the Add Ins complete.

Solution

From the Word command line switches documentation, you can use the /a switch to "prevent add-ins and global templates from being loaded automatically.":

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Winword.exe" /a

You could also start Word in Safe Mode with the /safe switch:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Winword.exe" /safe
