SharePoint Online - MS Word Preview - Document Property Value is not display (Doc template)
Dear All,
My custom document template (header) using Quick Part to display the metadata value but the system can't show the value during Word Online. Any reason or does it the limitation or bug?
This is because I could see the document property value if I click Edit Word and using Word Desktop.
Example: Division/Department is Managed Metadata column. It suppose to show the value instead of displaying document property (Word Online).
Please advice.
Thanks.

It would be a useful feature to add for Sharepoint users: a properties pane that opens on the right (exactly like the SharePoint one in a documents list), when the document is created.
Currently when I create a new document from a Word template in SharePoint, it opens automatically in Word Online. To change the properties I have to close it, then edit the document properties in the SharePoint list, or open in Word. I'd prefer to set the properties immediately, when the document opens, and start editing it without the extra step.
- I believe you are facing a limitation in Office Online
- Thanks for your info. Any article mentions about the limitation of Word Online to preview the document property value?
