Workflow Document Template - MS Word

[Former Member]

Dear All

I am creating a workflow which is using document template to create a MS Word Document.

Document is creating and working fine but I am not able to place container variable over MS Word by double clicking the container element while same is working fine for Microsoft Excel.

Link is establishing for excel but not for word. I have Microsoft Office 2010 installed over PC.

Same issue for me.

The workaround is to first define the property with the name of the container element between underscores:

_<containerElement>_ 

and choose any value, via the Word menu File > Properties, then you can double click the container element.

If you want to use a workflow expression, use dots instead of underscores:

.<workflowExpression>.

I didn't find any SAP note about this issue.
