Oct 19, 2012 I am creating a document for teachers in my school and one particular section requires drop down boxes. My question is in regards to the limitations found in Microsoft Office Word 2011 in Macs.

How to create Microsoft Word templates
You can build Microsoft Word templates on either Windows or your Mac by enabling the Developer tab. Once you have enabled that tab, under the Controls section you can add any content controls into your document (see below what is the list of currently supported controls). Use the control Properties to give the control a friendly name that you will use in the Power Automate. Once you are done creating your Word document, save it to one of the document libraries supported by Microsoft Graph: OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Sites, and Office 365 Groups.
Now, you can start building the flow. Add the Populate a Microsoft Word template action to your flow, and when you select that file you should see a list of all the controls that you added. Populate these fields with values you'll want to insert in the new Microsoft Word Document. Finally, you can then use the outputs of the action and send an email, save the document to another location, or any number of other actions.

Guide for using Repeating Section Content Control in the Word Online connector.
We're enabling repeating tables in the Word Online connector. When creating a template in Word, you need to add the Repeating Section Content Control. This is the control in the developer tab that helps us create a repeating table. Repeating Section Content Control enables users to repeat rows in a table and plain text. Here is a guide to work with the Repeating Section Content Control:
To make a template with repeating text: First add a Repeating Section Content Control from the developer tab. Then add Plain Text Content Controllers within the parent repeat content controller. Any text that is outside a nested content controller would be static. While adding the nested content controllers, make sure to go to properties and add a unique title for them. For example, if the template looks like
I would like to Then the user can dynamically change the values of a and b.a andb To add a repeating row to the template, simply add a table, select the full row (which you want to repeat) and select the repeat content controller from the developer tab. Now you can add nested plain text content controllers in the columns that you want to be dynamic. While adding the nested content controllers, make sure to go to properties and add a unique title for them.
Once you have added a Repeating Section Content Control, the nested content controllers would show up in the Word connector action. You can click on the 'Add new item' button to add a new row. If the number of rows you want is dynamic, then user should make a array of values and pass it into the repeat field. For example, a valid array for the above example would look like:[{'a': 'value for row 1', 'b': 'value for row 1'}, {'a': 'value for row 2', 'b': 'value for row 2'}]Here the keys of the objects are the titles of the nested content controllers. Hence, adding a unique title is necessary. This array can be easily constructed using the 'Select' data operation by mapping the values of an array with data to the input array.
Additional notes:
- To format the table simply format the text and table in the template and the formatting would persist in the generated document.
- If there is no title for a nested content controller in repeat, it would be get a random title.
- If there is a duplicate title, both the content controllers will be replaced with the same content
Guide for using Images in the Word Online connector.
- Add an Image content controller in your template. Don’t delete the placeholder image. You can re-size and re-position it.
- Add a title property to the image content controller so that you can easily identify it in the Power Automate designer.
- When the image field shows up in the designer, add file contents of a JPG or PNG image as the value. The value should look like this:{'$content-type': 'image/png','$content': 'iVBORw0KG..i/DhQmCC'}where the content is the base64 encoded image.
Guide for formatting the generated Word document in the Word Online connector.
Any formatting done on text, image or table in the template would persist in the generated document. To add formatting to an empty content controller, you can go to properties of the content controller and check the 'Use a style to format text typed into the empty control'. Then you can add new styling.

I was trying to download a windows 8.1 iso to a different drive letter using the media creation tool, and apparently the application can't handle those kind of file permissions so it choked. The simple solution that worked for me was making the tool save to the C: drive in my download folder instead of onmy G: drive. I tried many of these different solutions to solve this problem including turning on the update service to automatic and all that junk. Microsoft free media creation tool. I know the solution to this problem so decided to share it. I agree with you, as far I know this kind of issue isn't the only example of things breaking when you disable services such as Windows Firewall or Update.
