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.

    This is also being discussed in the thread at https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/how-do-i-disable-microsoft-word-security-notice/3714060c-bf5b-431e-a03f-6a339b72d4c5 

    As I replied there today,

    My installation of Office just updated from 2108 (14326.20238) to 2108 (14326.20282). I didn't see the popup in either build. Try getting the update, which may help.
