Bi publisher for word

For PeopleSoft XML reports, we usually add the BI Publisher plug-in to MS Word, load the XML files, create RTF templates and the list goes on.

When you download and install the BI Publisher from PeopleSoft (Design Helper), at first load of Microsoft Word 2016, the BI Publisher tab should appear in the ribbon. If it doesn’t, it means either the add-in is restricted, disabled or does not work. Office 2016 isn’t certified yet to be used with Oracle BI Publisher, but there’s a workaround. Provided below are multiple steps that you can follow to get this issue resolved and have the BI Publisher tab appear permanently in Microsoft Word 2016.

For reference purposes, here are the details of my environment:

Windows 10 Home 64-bit

Microsoft Office 2016 32-bit

PeopleSoft HCM 9.2

PeopleTools 8.55.01

Step 1 : To find out which version of Office 2016 you have installed, open up an instance of Word 2016, File > Account > About Word

Find_Version_Edit

Step 2 : Download and install BI Publisher from Design Helper

Navigation : Main Menu > Reporting Tools > BI Publisher > Setup > Design Helper

Choose the setup file appropriate to your version of Microsoft Word 2016 (either 32/64-bit) and download the same

Design_Helper

Step 3 : Before starting with the installation, ensure all instances of Microsoft Word have been closed. If you’re on a remote desktop, ensure that all instances of Word have been closed by all users who have logged on to the server.

Step 4 : Once the installation is complete,  search for Enable or Disable Template Builder from the installed programs list in Windows

Enable_Or_Disable_Template_Builder

Step 5 : Click on Enable or Disable Template Builder

Enable_Disable_1Enable_Disable_2

Step 6 : Click OK

Click on Button 1

Enable_Disable_3

And you’re done!

Open up an instance of Word 2016 and see if the BI Publisher tab appears in the ribbon. Ensure the BI Publisher tab does not disappear by opening Word 2016 couple of times.

BI_Publisher_Tab_Office_2016

If it doesn’t appear at all or disappears if you open Word 2016 after a while, try the following:

Step 7 : Go to File > Options > Trust Center

Step 8 : Click on Trust Center settings

Trust_Center

Step 9 : Ensure that the settings are the same as in the screenshot provided below:

Trust_Center_Settings

Step 10 : Click on ActiveX settings and ensure that the settings are the same as in the screenshot provided below:

Trust_Center_ActiveXSettings

Step 1 1: Click on Add-ins and ensure that the settings are the same as in the screenshot provided below:

Trust_Center_AddInsSettings

Step 12: Click on OK and then select Add-ins from the Word Options dialog

Step 13 : Check if BI Publisher Template Builder for Word is listed under Inactive Application Add-ins

Step 14 : Select it and at the bottom of the dialog, select COM Add-ins and click on the Go button

AddIns_Inactive

Step 15 : In the COM Add-ins dialog that appears, select the BI Publisher Template Builder for Word checkbox and ensure that the Load Behavior is Load at Startup and not Unloaded.

COM_AddIns_LoadBehavior

Click on OK to close the dialog. Close the Word 2016 instance and open a new instance. The BI Publisher tab should appear in the ribbon.

If it still doesn’t appear in the ribbon, repeat Step 15 again. Ensure that the Load Behavior is not Unloaded.  If the Load Behavior has been reset or if the checkbox has been cleared, please follow the steps provided below.

Step 16 : Ensure that you have Administrator permissions to your system.

Step 17 : Open the run prompt – Windows + R and type regedit

Step 18 : Look at the following two registry entries:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftOfficeWordAddinsTBAddIn

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWOW6432NodeMicrosoftOfficeWordAddinsTBAddIn

Step 19 : Look for the DWORD value named LoadBehavior

Registry_LoadBehavior

Step 20 : Double click on LoadBehavior and set its value to 3 for both Registry paths provided above

LoadBehavior_Value_Changed

Step 21 : Click on OK and exit the Registry Editor. Open the Registry again and ensure that the value has not been overwritten.

Go to step 15 again and ensure that the COM add-in is checked. Close and restart the Word 2016 instance again and see if the BI Publisher tab appears in the ribbon. The BI Publisher add-in will now appear in the Active add-ins list.

AddIns_Active

Hopefully all these steps should resolve this issue.

Please add any questions that you may have in the comments section.

Hope this helps! 🙂

  • Did you get BI Publisher to work with Office 2013?

  • Thanks, this solved half of the problem however I am getting problem in the authentication, I tried the same username/password and report server (Which should be running on office 2007).

    If I tried with wrong entry I am getting error message, but with the correct information the log on page will disappears and the icons will not function (grayed out)

  • Solution given by Helen FSM, realy works.

    Go to ==> Program Files (x86)OracleBI PublisherBI Publisher DesktopDotNetInstallFiles when you are in this folder execute the file with the name setup. 

    Yes it worked for me.

    You don’t need to login.  You can ignore that login window.  Just click on Sample XML (Folder icon), browse and select the sample xml file. You will get all other options enabled.

    Thanks Helen.

  • Hi All, I am using Office 365 and windows 10. I am getting the same problem (Method not found:’Boolean tbÇommon.TBCProperty.get_Bv_Default()’) , and also the Preview does not work, can somebody help me?

  • I am using Window 7 Word 2013 and I downloaded BI Publisher 32 bit version.  It seemed to install but I do not get the add in in Word. 

    I went to Program Files (x86)OracleBI PublisherBI Publisher Desktop  and all I have it an empty folder called Template Builder for Word

    Any ideas?

  • I am running Windows365, Word 2016, and there is nothing that seems to work so I can use the BI Publisher plug in. I’m able to create reports but with limited functionality.  Every time I attempt to insert a conditional field, or a repeating group,
    I get the same error about not being able to run macros.  Oracle gave me suggestions about deleting cache files and re-installing Word 2016, but none of this solves the problem. Is ANYBODY out there able to use Template Builder with Windows365? 
    If so, did you face these problems?  Please advise. 

  • Hi Rama, I tried this but couldn’t find the folder path you designated.  I’ll keep looking.  But my question is did this fix the problem while running Windows 365? 

  • If the BI Publisher tab appears like above, try the following:

    1. Uninstall BI Publisher Desktop.
    2. Check if any assemblies which start with TB still present in
      C:Windowsassembly. Delete them if present.
    3. (Optional) If you have issues deleting the assemblies, delete them in
      HKLMSOFTWAREClassesInstallerAssembliesGlobal       in the registry and then repeat step 2.
    4. Make sure there are no files in MS Word startup directory C:<user>AppDataRemoteMicrosoftWordSTARTUP.
    5. (Optional) Restart your PC.
    6. Reinstall BI Publisher Desktop.

  • It worked for me.

    Thank you
