In about 70% of cases when I load a Word (or Power Point) file (.docx) into Studio 2015 it returns an error message and the workaround is always to change file format to Word 97-2003 (.doc) format. It doesnt cause any major headaches or problems but I have to ask myself why a 2015 software is not compatible with the most widely used office formats and requires me to revert to an almost 20 year old file type isntead? Does this happen to other users? Is there a solution?

I am using Studio 2015 with docx and and pptx files created in various versions, I never had any problems. The solution might be looking at your setup, and at your procedures.
