Microsoft Dynamics GPThe recent problem with opening Word templates generated from Microsoft Dynamics GP, which was already fixed in Microsoft Dynamics GP Fall 2020 Release, has just had a fix released for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016.

The fix can be downloaded from the patch releases page on CustomerSource lock in the U.S. 2020 Year-end Update in Dynamics GP which is available for Dynamics GP and Dynamics GP 2016.
