If Report Tool seems to be "stuck" shortly after starting the Word generation (after the progress entry that it loaded a Word template), most likely there is a concealed message box waiting for your input -  press "Alt + Tab" to cycle through windows.

Please note:

Word settings may block Macro execution. Word Macros are used by UPLINX Report Tool.

Concealed message boxes by Microsoft Word during Macro execution can block further execution and make the application look frozen. These message boxes can be hidden under Report Tool or other application forms and are hard to see in the Windows Taskbar. You can cycle through windows when you press "Alt + Tab" - this will also show concealed message boxes.
