Fixing the Invalid File Type error when importing Word documents
Updated 5 months ago

Overview

We do not accept any files that have imbedded macros and/or formulas.

If you try to import a Word document in an older version of Word (with the file extension .doc), you will receive an error message stating Invalid file type. We only support documents with .docx, .xls, .xlsx, and .pdf extensions.

You need the system to accept a document in an older version of Microsoft Word.

  1. Go to your document, click the Windows icon, then select Save as Word document.
  2. Save the document to a location in the local drive.
