There are 3 main causes of this issue.
-
Having tracked changes applied to your citations (to fix this you just need to accept or reject all tracked changes in the citations and stop tracking before using the format function)
-
In some cases composite images (layered images grouped into a single object) can prevent the add-in from functioning correctly. To fix this, right-click (control-click or SHIFT+F10 for Windows, Command-click for Mac) the composite image and select Save as image which will condense the composite into 1 image file, then just replace the composite with the single image file you saved, or alternatively select Group > Ungroup to revert the grouped images into separate ones. For further details on this, please see the article here.

The minimum Office version we support is 16.0.11629, so you may need to update Office to get the addin working.
