Bi Publisher won't install in Word

User_HX1BP

I have followed the instructions to install BI Publisher, but I can't get the add on to enable at all. I have enabled and disabled the add on for my profile. I have checked the trust center settings to make sure it is allowed. I have tried different versions to see if an older version will work. I have installed and uninstalled the downloaded file. The add on is working in excel and I have edited a couple of templates last week in word but I can't get it to work to edit any templates now. I try to select the add in on the COM page but it won't remain selected. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @User_HX1BP,

Could you please check if there are any disabled items?

Please, open the word document, then go to File > Options > Add-ins > Manage: Disabled Items.

In the second image you have provided, please select from Manage drop down list "Disabled Items" instead of "COM Add Ins" and confirm if the list is clean.

Thank you,

Simona

Today I had the same problem, but i went to File > Options > Add-ins > Manage: Disabled Items and found that there was an item that I did not remember that I disabled. So I just enabled that item and my problem was solved.
