Why is the Advanced Document Automation icon grayed out?

Updated over 12 months ago

Occasionally you may notice the the Advanced Document Automation button icon is grayed out.

This situation can happen due to one of two issues:

  1. The document you're opening is a ".doc" file instead of a ".docx" file.

  2. The document you're opening is in "read-only" mode.

The simplest solution to both of these scenarios is to make a copy of your document and make sure you save it as a ".docx" file instead of a ".doc" file. Open up the new document and the Advanced Document Automation button should become active again.
