Currently (9th Jan 2026) there's a problem with the Medilink web server (being investigated). 
This is causing a problem when Word opens where the Medilink WordAddIn update check will fail, which then in turn also causes Medilink letter creation to stall/fail.

This only affects users that have the WordAddIn installed.


Solution:


Open Word

File -> Options

Add-ins

Manage: COM Add-ins -> Go

Untick Medilink.Tools.WordAddIn

OK

Close Word
