Missing Microsoft Word 2016

Double-clicking your DOCXML file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open DOCXML File". Usually, this is because you do not have Microsoft Word 2016 for %%os%% installed. The OS won't know what to do with your DOCXML file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

If you do not have the proper version Microsoft Word 2016 (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above.
