Help Issues VBA Not Installed - Copy-Fast

Macro Language Support Not Installed

What's the issue?

Copy-Fast works as a plug-in (also known as a add-in) to Microsoft Word.

To make the magic happen, Copy-Fast "talks" to Microsoft Word to get Word to do specific tasks. However for some tasks, Microsoft Word expects that macro language support be installed on your computer.

If the language support is not installed on your computer, Copy-Fast won't work as expected.

What are the symptoms?

When macro language support is not installed on your computer, Copy-Fast won't be able to create documents. So features such as Template, Hemingway Reports and Heatmap Reports won't work.

Instead, when you try to use these features you may see a message like this:

Issue VBA Not Installed - Msg

How do I fix it?
