How is verification affected when a file type is missing?

David Smallwood

When a user doesn't have a file type installed, a warning message appears saying that the following features will be restricted or unavailable:

- Saving
- Verification
- Quick Tags
- Preview

It seems obvious to me how saving, quick tags and preview will be affected in this situation, but what impact will a missing file type have on verification? Are users able to run a verification without a file type installed? What are the limitations, if any?

With the Microsoft Word 2007 - 2013 file type being phased out in Studio 2017 SR1, I'm particularly interested in how users of Studio 2014 and earlier are affected by not having the new MS Word file type available.

    Hi ,

    I think this is a message that has not been changed for a long time. In earlier versions tag handling used to be on the filetype for example and not in the general verification settings. So it may not have been possible to verify tag problems in earlier versions if you didn't have the filetype. I tested a few built in filetypes created in 2017 and opened in 2014 and verification works fine. There may be some filetypes (I have not investigated this in detail) where some things are not going to be checked but on the whole in 2014 and not earlier, you should be able to verify most things.

    Regards
