In my tests, neither Legacy FormFields nor Content Controls work in Word - Version 1.0.1 (16.0.6701.1007) on an Android device.

    Hi Doug,

    More than one year later, do you know if that status has changed meanwhile? I also wanted to have some Content Controls in Word over Android to work, but if that's not possible, I need to look elsewhere (PDF? Android Studio?)

    Cheers Joao
