Hi!
I´m using PA to create several types of Word documents with data from MS lists columns. Data is copied from the list column to a column with the same name at the document library. In the word template that I use I have inserted the columns with the Word functionality "insert document properties". BUT, these columns are not showing correctly in word online, but works perfect when I open the file from Windows Exporer.

Is there anyone out there that have found an automated work around for this so the end user don´t have to open the file from explorer?
This will also make it possible to create PDF:s directly from the wordfile with the Onedrive-connector. Which would be lovely!

Thanks in advance
