Default Compatibility in docx, not in dotx


Hi all,

in O365, I've made a small Excel-Word app for a customer. Installed it on customer's computer which still runs O/2016

Excel VBA opens Word, the adds a document based on a template I also made in 365.

Then my Excel code performs some actions on the document. On my sytem all works fine. On customer's not: one of the actions is to insert a BuildingBlock containing a table, then change that table's title in order to refer to it later on. This does not work on customer's system, throwing an error (just don't know the err.number)

If I open the document-template on customer's computer, it opens normally, and I could (manually) change the table's title. However if I add a new document based on that template, it opens in compatibility-mode, and the table's title property is greyed-out (in code it seems read-only.

I don't understand what is going on here. Any wise words as to solving the issue?
