Stack Overflow Resolve by referring customer to Stack Overflow. Use boilerplate in comment: "Could you please post this question in Stack Overflow and tag your question with office-js? This repository a good forum for receiving technical support on the API itself. This forum is specifically for errors/issues with the documentation set rather than the API itself. While there is certainly overlap, questions regarding the use of the library should be posted on Stack Overflow where you'll likely get a quicker response and benefit other developers facing the same challenges. Be sure an include a complete description of your problem and the code you're using to make the call. Without enough detail the community won't be able to provide any guidance." Close after referring customer to SO.
