Hello @Ravi_Rawal
For the word application scope, you need MS Word application on your machine. Otherwise, try Word document activities. For this application scope not required.

@Ravi_Rawal
You are facing an error in MS word right? Which version are you using

@Ravi_Rawal If you want to convert word files into PDFs, you can try like this without using word application scope. It worked for me.

Just wanted to reply something possibly anecdotal. I was experiencing the same error as you. I ran the MS Office Repair tool in UiPath studio. Closed relaunched and received the same error. A more senior engineer came over to take a look and asked me to pull up logs in UiPath. (Debug tab > Open Logs) I had quite a few in there, which he instructed me to clear all of them out.

After doing so, I ran the automation again and did not experience the Word Application Scope Error. My senior engineer immediately tells me there is no way that these two things should be related, to which I agree.

However, I figured I’d post online as this is such a niche problem and if it worked for me, there’s a small chance it can help others too.
