@tomyan112 Thanks for the excellent description of the bug, which is one that has been present sinve V3.0 and nobody has yet reported it to us either here or in our Facebook group for support.

I now have something to look into, from your description I can see that our use of ActiveDocument property of the word application might be the issue here as it quite clearly will have changed with the scenario you have described.

MikeWilliams-UK commented 2 years ago

@deadlyvices it was as I now suspected caused by using Application.ActiveDocument which in this scenario changes during the rendering process.

I am going to review the use of Application.ActiveDocument to see if I can find any more gotchas before raising internal pull request.
