Oliver, add the client-side JS call XSP.allowSubmit() to your button in order to allow new submits after pressing the button:

<xp:button id="button5" styleClass="btn btn-sm printbutton" style="display:none">
        <i class="fa fa-print"></i>
        &#160;
        <xp:text>
            <xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:"Nach MS Word exportieren"}]]></xp:this.value>
        </xp:text>

        <xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true"
            refreshMode="complete">
            <xp:this.action>
                <xp:actionGroup>
                    <xp_1:generateDocument documentId="wordprint"
                        loaded="true">
                    </xp_1:generateDocument>
                </xp:actionGroup>
            </xp:this.action>
            <xp:this.script><![CDATA[XSP.allowSubmit()]]></xp:this.script>
        </xp:eventHandler>
    </xp:button>

I believe the issue is you're generating the word document from the button on the same page.

Do the generation from an XAgent. Have the button call the XPage containing the XAgent and you should be fine.
