I have been having a lot of issues with BI Publisher lately. One of them is Module_editFF i had BI Publisher installed for a while and out of the blue i got this error and the BI Publisher wont work any more. I had to uninstall the existing BI Publisher, and re-install the BI Publisher again. After successful re-installation of the BI Publisher, open MS Word. Click on the MS Word logo, click Word Options. Click Add-ins menu. In the Manage option, look for templates and hit go. Looks for TemplateBuilder.dot and check that and hit ok. By doing this the BI Publisher worked for me. Hope this helps others who face this issue.

BI Publisher Installation on Windows7 Recently i tried to install the latest version of BI Publisher (XML Publisher 11.1.1.6) Desktop on my PC which has Microsoft Office 2007 and  i have been facing issues with it. The error says it needs JRE version higher than 1.6 So after doing some research i came to know we need to install the JDK 7 to get this issue resolved. So if your PC is Windows 7 64 bit, then we need to download the JDK for windows 64 bit and install this. After we install the JDK7 successfully, then try installing BI Publisher  Sometimes we might get into Macros settings issue. For this please run the following commands in your command prompt as admin or with admin rights. For 64-bit operating systems, type the following: Regsvr32 "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\MSCOMCTL.OCX" For 32-bit operating systems, type the following: Regsvr32 "C:\Windows\System32\MSCOMCTL.OCX"
