I have this script which creates an outlook signature and looks over to Active Directory for date (DisplayName, Telephone, and Title).
I have this line of code to copy a .docx file to appdata and save it in html, rtf, and txt.
#Save new message signature
Write-Output "Saving signatures"
#Save HTML
$saveFormat = [Enum]::Parse([Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdSaveFormat], "wdFormatHTML");
$path = $LocalSignaturePath+'\'+$SignatureName+".htm"
$MSWord.ActiveDocument.saveas([ref]$path, [ref]$saveFormat)
#Save RTF
$saveFormat = [Enum]::Parse([Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdSaveFormat], "wdFormatRTF");
$path = $LocalSignaturePath+'\'+$SignatureName+".rtf"
$MSWord.ActiveDocument.SaveAs([ref] $path, [ref]$saveFormat)
#Save TXT
$saveFormat = [Enum]::Parse([Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdSaveFormat], "wdFormatText");
$path = $LocalSignaturePath+'\'+$SignatureName+".txt"
$MSWord.ActiveDocument.SaveAs([ref] $path, [ref]$SaveFormat)
$MSWord.ActiveDocument.Close()
$MSWord.Quit()
It works fine for Outlook 2013. But when I ran it for Outlook 2016, I get the following error

Is there a different formating for Outlook 2016. Thoughts?
Thanks!
