Word cannot be started. This is with the newest version of POA. In the old version it was working without any issue.

    What type of file is it that you are trying to open? Is the file locally stored or in cloud? Can you test to open some other word documents to see if that gives the same error?
    I can use Launch Word -action without issues(My PAD version: 2.50.125.24304)
