Hello,
Besides the screenshot of your project can you please provide the following :

• The version of StudioX that you are using

• The version of the Office Suite that you are using

• And I would be most useful if you could provide us with the logs. They are usually found in %localappdata%/UiPath/Logs

Regards,
Dragos.

Can you send me as personal message the entire log ? Maybe it something in the upstream

As a matter of update, this was handled in two ways in 20.10:

• you now get a better error message
• we introduced a repair tool that should fix this issue

[irham.nirwana (irham)]

already upgraded into 20.10 version but error still exist.
where i can find the repair tool, i just got Excel Repair tool

[loginerror (Maciej Kuźmicz)]

Hi @irham.nirwana

You can find the repair tool under Tools in Studio It is called Repair Tool for Microsoft Interop.

[irham.nirwana (irham)]

I mentioned before, Repair Tool seems for Excel but my error related to Word Automation.
I’ve tried Repair Tool and Word Automation error remain the same

[studioX (Horia Belu)]

hello
which 20.10 version are you running? can you please update to 20.10 beta754 which was uploaded this monday? As @loginerror said you have the tool to repair also the word installation.

you need to browse to your word exe file

let me know how it goes
