Notes
- There are other formats not listed here that may work, but results may vary.
- Vault does not make any changes to files once uploaded except in cases where the file utilizes a feature such as Merge Fields.
- Vault may fail to render Microsoft 365 files containing macros.
- Vault does not recommend embedding files within Microsoft Word source files. Although Vault may be able to render these in some cases, embedded files violate best practices for validation.
