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.

    microsoft called me today, it is a bug and should be fixed in the next release. Let's wait and see if it's true.

    There have been several Office and Windows 10 updates since then and the problem sadly still exists. I'm still running two machines, one with all the current updates, so I know it's still not working right, and another machine that is rolled back to a previously working version with Office updates turned off, so I can get some work done without this annoying error. That's all I know as of today.

    I have the same issue. This bug is a nuisance that Microsoft needs to correct.

    Welcome to group. Sadly it's been 6 months+ and Microsoft, for whatever reason, has decided to ignore this error, and has not yet fixed it. I agree. Very annoying!
