I have an issue with WF's “Update Word Activity”.  I have taken my workflow down to the bare bones, piece by piece, trying to figure out why it is not working.  I finally got it to work after removing all tokens. 

  • First, it kept terminating, saying there were too many characters in the Name (which there weren’t).  This problem did not go away until I took out the tokens in the name (within the Gear configuration of the activity).
  • Secondly, it would not do the updates I was asking for until I took out all tokens in the Find/Replace part of the activity. 

 

Without the tokens, I will not be able to get it to collect the numbers I want from the specified document names and create a list in a Word document out of them.  This is the pared down WF that finally worked (see below), but why would the tokens not work?
