Is a Word installation required for Word export?

Unread post by markusflow »

Hello guys,

Quick question: Is a Word installation required to export an HMXP to DOCX?
We are experiencing slow exports to DOCX on some machines.

Before ordering new licences, I would like to clarify whether this could be the cause.

Thanks. Markus

Hi Markus,

You don't need Word for exporting DOCX in Help+Manual, but you should really have it for viewing and editing after generating.

Thanks for your reply, Tim. Word is available, just not on the compiling machine.

Then I'll need to investigate further to identify the source of the problem.
