SynthoDesk · Built into Microsoft 365

Retire the macro-riddled template. Engineer the document instead.

SynthoDesk is a Microsoft 365 add-in suite for engineering teams. It replaces the tangle of VBA macros, orphaned templates, and “final_v3_REAL” files with governed, versioned documents — built right inside the Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook your team already uses. It requires a Microsoft 365 subscription: SynthoDesk installs as an add-in, not as separate software.

Requires Microsoft 365 — no separate application to install or learn
No macros to maintain, no version confusion
Your documents and data stay in your own tenant

One suite, four apps

Document control, a cited calculation library, guided decks, and controlled transmittals — across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.

One suite. Four disciplines.

Engineering discipline, added to the apps you already use

SynthoDesk adds a purpose-built engineering workflow to each core Microsoft 365 app — nothing to install beyond the add-in, nothing new for your team to learn. A shared command palette, unified settings, and a single silent Microsoft sign-in tie the four apps together.

SynthoDesk runs on top of Microsoft 365 and requires a Microsoft 365 subscription that includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook — desktop or web. It signs in with the Microsoft account your team already has, and your documents stay in your own tenant.

W

Word — Document Manager

Turn documents into governed, standards-compliant records: retroactive conversion, dual style engines with legal numbering, draft/issued enforcement, automatic TOC, and auto-filling revision tables — with A4/Letter layout switching.

X

Excel — Engineering Library

200+ searchable calculators and lookup tables, cited to their source standards, with automatic safety notices and live, auditable cell insertion — real formulas in the worksheet, not screenshots.

P

PowerPoint — Presentation Builder

Guided deck assembly with customizable sections, automatic tenant branding, and figures pulled directly from the rest of the suite — presentation-ready in minutes.

O

Outlook — Communication & Distribution

One-click transmittals with the correct revision attached and distribution logged — so only Issued copies ever leave the building.
