I had the same problem before.

I have not found this described in any documents, but the standard version of Office is not enough for this function! As the messages says, then you need to have MS Office 2003 professional installed.

Hi Erik,

Good Day!

Just a quick a question. Does the version of Office Professional should be on both system Server and Workstation? or in the Server only?

Hi Ian,

You only need on the workstation/client.

FYI

Microsoft only introduced XML markup compatibility in the 2003 version and only put it into the professional version.
