Why do I get “Failed to Save Word Report – Aborting” when printing a Word template?

This error usually means the report save folder doesn’t exist or Roof Wizard doesn’t have permission to write there (common with OneDrive/cloud paths). Set the save location to a valid folder—ideally your default ..\User folder.

You get this error string in the Roof Wizard prompt area…

It has been found that when you get a "Failed to Save Word Report - Aborting" error when I print to my Word template it is due to the path set for saving the report either doesn't exist, or you do not have permission to write to that folder.

The example we tested had a path set to a OneDrive folder in the cloud and because Roof Wizard opened up the Word document, and not the user, it would not write to that location.

The most valid path for writing your reports is to the default ../User folder so you know where everything is.
