Hi @Peter1234
It’s most likely that the “Microsoft Error GeneralException” indicates a communication issue between the Lucidchart add-in and Microsoft Word when attempting to insert a diagram.
Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:
-
Ensure Microsoft Office is Up-to-Date.
Go to File > Account > Update Options > Update Now to make sure you're running the latest version of Word.
-
Clear Cached Credentials.
Sign out of the Lucidchart add-in in Word, then close and reopen Word and sign back in. Sometimes refreshing the session resolves insertion issues.
-
Try Inserting a Different Diagram.
Test with a simpler or different Lucidchart diagram to rule out issues with a specific file.
-
Use the Web App as a Workaround
You can open your diagram in Lucidchart online, download it as a PNG or JPEG image, and insert it manually into your Word document.
-
Check Internet Connection and Firewall Settings
Occasionally, security settings or network restrictions can block the communication needed between Word and Lucidchart.
If none of these resolve the issue, please submit a ticket to the help desk here for further assistance: Submit a request – Lucid
