Issue
An error occurred while attempting to add a new Map
The error message is displayed as shown below:
Error Occurred in 'Create Map'
Message: An item with the same key has already been added.
Possible Cause
The problem could arise if a Microsoft Custom Style is added with a name that already exists. It's important to ensure that each Microsoft Style has a unique name to avoid conflicts.
Solution
To resolve this issue, follow these steps
| Step | Action |
| 1 | In your Word document, go to the "Home" tab. |
| 2 |
Click on the small arrow at the bottom right corner of the "Styles" group. This opens the Styles pane. |
| 3 |
Press the button "Options..." |
| 4 |
Select styles to show 'All styles' |
| 5 | Press "OK" |
| 6 |
Search any Duplicate Style, and right mouse click on it. |
| 7 |
Press "Modify..." |
| 8 |
Give it a unique name: Important Note: This must be an unused name. If you give it the name of an existing item, Microsoft Word will crash. |
| 9 |
Press "OK" |
| 10 |
You should now be able to insert a Map without any Error. |
