Hi! I have an issue that i am unable to change content populated by 'Populate a word document', as shown in the image below, when selecting the content to change 'MEL' to "MFEL' for example, I cant change it. Currently they are populated into the content controls in a template word document.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Do you mean you cannot modified the generated word documnet?

    Can you ensure you have clicked the "Enable Editing" button on top of your file?

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply, I can edit the other content, just that for the content populated by the flow cannot be edited, if i were to backspace in the content control it just deletes the whole content in the content control.
