I have below piece of late binding code which doesn't work on Excel MAC. I'm trying to copy a word doc then open it.

            FileCopy strTemplatePath, strOutputPath
            
            On Error Resume Next
            Set wdApp = CreateObject("Word.application")
            wdApp.Visible = True
            wdApp.WindowState = 2
            On Error GoTo 0
            DoEvents
        
            Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Open(strOutputPath)
The code successfully copies the strTemplatePath as strOutputPath but fails to open it later on.
The code fails on "Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Open(strOutputPath)", Object variable is not set.

The workbook resides in the Document folder. Disable or Enable document gallery gives no effect.

What is wrong with the code or the MAC??
