I see it’s now in the Mac App Store, latest version 3 years old, I suspect my installed version is older than that. Is there a way to tell? Or should I just install the new and let it make a version assessment?
The app is called WordService, so you could simply search for that. It doesn’t didn’t come with an installation mechanism so far as I can tell, so you will need to find where you put it (or it ended up). The instructions suggest that changed with v. 2.8.1.
The instructions suggest
Simply move WordService into your Applications or Applications/Utilities folder or into the folder Services (in the Finder visit the Go menu with the Option key pressed; choose Library; locate a folder named Services; if there is none, you can safely create it manually).
so maybe the app is to be found in the /Library/Services folder?

The ultimate aim is to say something helpful - seems it happened this time round Tell us, how ancient was your version?
