Below are some steps you can take if you encounter issues with this installation.  If you need further assistance with troubleshooting, contact the ITS Service Desk.

ISSUE

  • You receive an error that Word is still running.

SUGGESTION

  • You must close all Office apps (e.g. Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.) before installing. Open Task Manager and if winword.exe or any other Microsoft Office app is running, end that task. 

ISSUE

  • In Word, when trying to open the Schema/XML data file, you receive an error message about an issue with macro security and you follow the "help" link that appears (see below) regarding Macro Security:
Panel

This message can appear if:

The macro was deleted from the template.

The template was not loaded or referenced in the Templates and Add-ins command.

The macro was turned off by the macro security settings of your system.

If the macro security settings are not allowing the macro to run, you should confirm the origin of the macro to be sure that it can be trusted (contact the developer or the source for the macro). You can then temporarily enable all macros by using the following procedure.

Click the File tab, click Options, click Trust Center, and then click Trust Center settings.

Click Macro Settings. Under Macro Settings, click Enable all macros.

NOTE: Be sure to change this option back to its original setting after you have run the macro.

If the macro is not accessible because the template is not loaded, click the File tab, click Options, and then click Add-Ins. At the bottom of the Add-Ins pane, select Templates from the Manage drop down list, and then click Go. In the Templates and Add-ins dialog box, click either Attach or Add. If the macro is not in the template, you may need to copy the macro from one template to another. Click the Organizer button at the bottom of the Templates and Add-ins dialog box to start the Organizer utility.

SUGGESTION

  1. Close down all windows from Outlook, Internet Explorer, Edge, Word, Excel, etc.
  2. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\Documents and SettingsUsers\<your netid>\Application DataAppData\Local\Microsoft\FormsFORMS
  3. Find this file: MSComctlLib.exd and rename the .exd file extension to something else such as .tmp.
  4. Reopen Word, and your XML template. Then try to open the data source that you were prevented from opening before.
