Word 2010 limitations

Consider the following known limitations for Word 2010.

  • If you have checked out a contract, and try to edit the clause title by placing the cursor in between the clause range and title bookmarks, the words are jumbled. To resolve this issue, while editing the clause title, press the Home button on the keyboard instead of placing the cursor between the bookmarks.
  • A Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) error occurs when you open a contract or clause template in Word 2010 with a 64-bit operating system.
  • When certain body and title styles of a clause are combined, the clause body shifts to the right side. The issue is caused because of the style that is defined in the format template. To resolve the issue, change the text indent property of the style numbering from 0.5" to 0.0".
    Note: Correcting the formatting template does not resolve the issue for existing contracts. For existing contracts, correct the indentation manually.
