How to open .docm files using WordApplicationScope

[Phanindra]

I am trying to open a word file with docm extension using WordApplicationScope, but it is not opening and stuck while opening the file. if I try to open the file with extension docx it is opening fine.

UiPath.Word.Activities is already installed, can anyone let me know the packages that I am missing to install.

Hi @Phanindra

Have you looked through this thread for possible solutions yet?

How to read a macro enabled word document?

Hi, I am using WordApplicationScope activity. However, I am unable to read from a macro-enabled word document. I saw a post which has been asked 2 years ago. The post is also about this question. This is the post link: How to read the text from a macro enabled word document? Thus, I am curious if now there is a way to read a macro-enabled word document from WordApplicationScope activity? Thank you
