Hi Jay and Tony,

It works for me, too, in both directions (.doc to .docx, and .docx to .doc).

I will try it (but have to reinstall SP2 before...).

thanks, Lorenz

Lorenz, it might be best to wait a day or two while we check out a report
that the hotfix has a problem. MVP Cindy Meister reported this to us:

"FWIW a person in the VSTO forum reports this hotfix did fix that problem
but
caused another, a biggie. Apparently running the hotfix destroyed the doc
variables in the file. See

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/For...e-0045254594b2 "

thanks for the warning, I've read the link. We're not working with
original docs and planned to check this particular problem as well.

bye, Lorenz

Hi,

did anyone succeed in getting the hotfix? The requested email didn't
come within the announced 5 minutes. We asked for the hotfix this
morning (about 5 hrs. ago) and got a confirmation. Don't they send it
anymore due to the second problem??

Regards, Lorenz

I got it successfully yesterday and checked it out before posting here.

I have just requested it again (using a different e-mail address because I
didn't know whether it might reject the same one again) and got the e-mail
in less than a minute.

If it's not in your junk mail, I would try again.

Hi Tony,

we tried it from two different email addresses and looked into the
junk mail folder. Well, I'll give it another try from a third one...

thanks, Lorenz

Glad you finally got it.

I would be interested to know what benefit Microsoft get for making this
such a complex procedure - not just the e-mail, but the frequently changing
password as well. I know you can't answer, I'm just musing

I have done some testing on this and it does appear that the hotfix is
causing the destruction of document variables. I will raise the issue with
Microsoft and report back when I have more information.

is it ActiveDocument.Variables or
ActiveDocument.CustomDocumentProperties? Are they being destroyed by
saving the document or do I have to delete one to destroy the others?
