Studio 2017 error "object reference not set to an instance of an object" for all Word files

I am getting the error message "object reference not set to an instance of an object" whenever I try to open ANY files from MS Word (2010), including those I previously translated in Studio 2015, as "translate single file" in Studio 2017. I read all related messages on this forum, and none of the solutions seem to help. It is NOT an antivirus problem, sorry. I also ran a repair on Studio 2017 with no results.  Word is still the most used program for my source and target files, so this is very upsetting. Please help, thank you.

  • Hi Anna,

    It would be useful to see the error stack as this might shed some light on where the problem is coming from:

    You can just add this to the post after saving it to your desktop:

    Select the File Upload option from the dropdown after choosing Insert Image/Video file.

    Regards
