    As Microsoft Word continues to update formatting, it moves further and further away from the Word 97-2003 format. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE update Create & Send Templates to (at the very least) the Word 07-2010 format. You have done so the the "Bid type templates", why not do it for other templates. And, if you must choose a starting point, start with the SUB (i.e. Subcontract) template type.

    The 'Word 07-2010 Document (docx) ' output type is currently only supported for Bid type templates.  Please change the output type to 'Word 97-2003 Document (doc)' or 'Adobe Acrobat (pdf)' for the current template.

    It is late 2017 - and Vista PM only supports creating .doc files (from .docx templates!)  This is a "design-feature'?  It works in Bid Templates - but not in PM Docs (where most of the docs are created).  Time to update design.
