Hi Rene,

From your provided code snippet, we suspect that reported issue because of you missed to enable editor. Please check below code snippet:

<div style="display:block;width:100%;height:500px">

              @Html.EJS().DocumentEditor("container").IsReadOnly(false).EnableEditor(true).EnableOptionsPane(true).EnableSelection(true).EnableComment(true).Height("700px").Created("onCreated").Render()

           

        </div>

    </div>

</div>

<script>

 

  

 

    var documenteditor;

 

    function onCreated() {

        documenteditor = document.getElementById("container").ej2_instances[0];

        var fieldName='field';

          documenteditor.editor.insertField('MERGEFIELD ' + fieldName + ' \\* MERGEFORMAT');

        documenteditor.resize();

    }

For your information, Document editor provides just the main document view area. Here, the user can compose, view, and edit the Word documents. You may prefer to use this component when you want to design your own UI options for your application.

Document editor container provides the main document view area along with the built-in toolbar and properties pane.
