Same problem got the result by creating the new controls in a clean new document, then pasted them into the legacy document (both docx, Word 2016). MS Word 14 responses on “ MS Word – Bug – Cannot Turn Off Design Mode” Then add to that a useless error message, like the one shown above, and you get the current mess. So either the documentation is incomplete or there is a bug in which you cannot have an empty placeholder. Furthermore, nowhere in any of the documentation relative to placeholders have I found any mention that it cannot be blank/empty. With 'Restrict Editing' turned on, the user can only add a single character to the content control field As soon as they have, the content control is removed, and the restricted editing means they cant enter any more characters. So we’ll file this under, yet another, Microsoft BUG! because once upon a time, when I originally created the documents, this did not pose a problem, but today it does, so at some point in time Microsoft changed things and created this issue. Each of the controls is specified as 'Remove content control when contents are edited'.
