I have an existing Word Add-In solution that has been working well for a long time that now cannot insert OOXML content into Word documents. Trying to break this down I can't get the insertOoxml method to work under any circumstance.
To reproduce:
await Word.run(async (context) => {
context.document.getSelection().insertOoxml(theOoxml, 'Start');
await context.sync();
});
Where theOoxml can be any valid Ooxml string. The reference example I have been using is:

But have also tried other reference examples: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/word/create-better-add-ins-for-word-with-office-open-xml
Results in:
word-web-16.00.debug.js:11162 Uncaught (in promise) Error: unknown at new RuntimeError (word-web-16.00.debug.js:11162) at RequestContext.ClientRequestContext.processRequestExecutorResponseMessage (word-web-16.00.debug.js:13713) at word-web-16.00.debug.js:13620
Have tried it in different tenants, browsers, and this is driving me a bit bonkers. If this does work for you please let me know your general config/setup.
Thanks.
UPDATE:
To avoid questions about the validity of the XML itself, the following code gets the OOXML for the current selection and then duplicates it after the selection - also fails with the same error.
await Word.run(async (context) => {
var sourceRange = context.document.getSelection();
var contentToCopy = sourceRange.getOoxml();
await context.sync();
sourceRange.insertOoxml(contentToCopy.value, 'After');
await context.sync();
});
Hopefully there is something simple I am missing here. Any suggestions/workarounds for inserting any Ooxml fragment appreciated.
UPDATE 2018-09-04: Microsoft have acknowledged the issue and are going to fix it.
UPDATE 2018-09-12: InsertOoxml appears to be working again - although I have not had a confirmation from Microsoft regarding the fix.
