Legistar is currently experiencing compatibility issues with the latest versions of Word from Microsoft 365, this includes Word versions 2210 and later. Microsoft was able to identify the root cause of this issue and we have worked with them to submit a "hotfix" request, which is now under review.

As a temporary workaround, we recommend rolling back to a previous version of Word, version 2209 or below. Microsoft has confirmed that the code causing this issue was introduced in version 2210 and persists in newer versions. We have the following support page with information about rolling back and troubleshooting the issue:

We apologize for this issue and understand that rolling back is not a tenable solution for the long-term. Granicus is continuing to work with Microsoft and doing everything we can to implement potential fixes on our end.
