Hi

You will need to install the word package to interact with word files :slight_smile:

Hi,

This looks like a selector issue. Can you send the .xaml, so that we can look into the error?

Hi

It looks like a selector issue… We might need to introduce some wild cards to make it more stable to suit all scenarios… For example the Title segment of the selector can be more dynamic by introducing a wild card for the invoice number…
Title='Tax Invoice Number *'

Try this for the selector

<wnd app='winword.exe' cls='OpusApp' title='Tax Invoice Number *' />

You can find the selector property here…

Replace the existing selector there with the one I shared… (within double quotes)
