Microsoft Office has Identified a Potential Security Concern

Hi,

Starting this afternoon, when I copy an paste an HTML-based wiki file (from Zendesk) into Word, I see the attached error.

I perform this operation numerous times, and never saw this notice until today. I have Word 365 Win10.

The problem does not occur when I paste a Confluence page.

Can someone clarify this message for me? What do they mean by "Choosing YES will enable updating all fields in this file..." What fields? And are they talking about the source file or target file?

Thanks!

Stephen

This is a bug in the current build - Microsoft is aware if the issue and working on a fix - but I have no ETA for when it will be fixed.

    Is the issue solved by Microsoft team? What is the status?

    Really annoying.

    Does someone at Microsoft who can facilitate fixing this bug monitor this forum?

    Thanks.

    No, no one in the development team "monitors" this forum. One of the tasks of MVPs, like me and Diane Poremsky, is to alert the team to reports of possible bugs with wide consequences, like this one. As Diane mentioned in this thread on July 7, they are aware of this one and are working on it. When we hear that a fix is being released, we will post here, but we don't have any power to facilitate the fix.

    Great, another bug from 2 years ago is reintroduced into the current build.

    Is there a setting that we can change to suppress this warning? My wife downloads a lot of quilting/embroidery files and creates her own documents in support of these files. To have to click yes every time she pastes an image to a new document, she has to click yes, and this creates a lot of clicks over a day.

    I have tried different settings in the trust center and nothing works. This is very frustrating for her and me when I spend most of my morning trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft product.

    Hopefully, they will fix this soon and not let it sit for months on end.
