    Hi,

    Are you sure your Office is 64bit as well?

    Because for Office most of the install are still 32bit (the 64bit version of Office is really only for some special needs with huge files etc.).

    So you need the 64bit version of the Admintool because this one goes with your OS (so Win10 64bit), but the publisher plugin is related with your Office, so double check if your Office is really 64bit.

    Did you enable the plugin? (As far as I remember in the Start menu you have a shortcut to enable or disable it).

    Don't you have in your Start menu a folder called "Oracle BI Publisher Desktop" ?

    There inside there is a shortcut "Enable or Disable Template Builder".

    (at least these are the names in 11g, don't have one available in 12c, but I'm optimist they didn't change too much ...

    and then i rerun it and click on button1 and it says that template builder was enabled.

    but still i did'nt see any bi publisher tab in word 2016.

    any idea that might work? or i have to downgrade my office to 2013?

    Regards.

    Well ....

    I must admit I never test it on an Office 2016, but also on Office 64bit. And not sure which one (if not both) could be a problem ...

    Would be great if somebody else here around used it on Office 2016 or on an Office 64bit and can post a feedback.

    Thank you for the time and guidance.

    for your information, i have uninstalled office 2016 and install office 2013, but the problem persist. i never check 32bit office though.

    Regards.

    On a 32bit Office 2013 it works (I have it in front of my eyes), that's for sure

    hi,

    i got the solution. i think the 64 bit office have this problem.

    the solution is below

    Look at the following two registry entries: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\TBAddInHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\TBAddInStep 19 : Look for the DWORD value named LoadBehaviorDouble click on LoadBehavior and set its value to 3 for both Registry paths

    please refer to the below blog

    Thank you for your kind help and support.

    Regards.

    in-fact, this key was not present,

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\TBAddIn

    i just export from the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE , edit the file so that it could refer to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, and then import it.

    regards
