thanks for the update, currently none of these work for me and all produce the same error.
i can make this work but going offline but for some reason it then will not print the watermark.
This problem has been reported to Microsoft. The latest word from my Word contact is:
The bug we have tracking this is still open and the crew is investigating. We’re unable to repro internally, so the team is trying to gather more information. I was able to reproduce the issue shortly after it was reported, but it resolved itself on my end.
If you’re able to collect information from users, the crew is looking to confirm if the issue occurs with all these entry points:
- Ribbon > Insert > Pictures > Online Pictures.
- Ribbon > Home > Paragraph > Bullet Library > Define New Bullet > Picture > Bing Image Search
- Ribbon > Design > Watermark > Custom Watermark > Picture Watermark > Select Picture
If one of these gives the HTTP error, do the other scenarios listed here work?
