Windows 10 + Office 2016 - Quick Parts not working anymore

Brass Contributor

Hello,

 

Since some of our users upgraded to Windows 10 + Office 2016, they complain that Quick Parts that reference Doc Library Columns of type "Lookup" are not working anymore:

 

- In the below example I created a List with colors (Red, Green, Blue)

- Then I created a sample library referencing that List as a Lookup column

- If I create a Word Document then insert a the "Color" Document Property using the "Insert Quick Parts" feature, I notice 2 problems:

 

1. The Quick Part dropdown menu does not let me choose between Red / Green / Blue...

2. If I set the Column value directly withing the Document Library, then I don't see the quick part being populated with the Color.Name but with the Color.ID value.

 

I do not notice such behavior with Windows 7 / Office 2013:

1. The Quick Part dropdown works and let me choose a color from within the document

2. The Quick Part is populated with the Color.Name and not the ID

Do you notice the same behavior?

Is this a known issue?

Is it fixed with an update of Windows 10 / Office 2016?

 

Thanks in advance,

Ben
