I am still waiting for any official word on this, but that, actually, is an interesting question to which I would guess the answer is no, but I don't know for sure. SP2 causes a problem. There is a hotfix. The hotfix causes a serious problem. There is another hotfix. So, you would need to install two hotfixes if the protected forms problem affected you. -- Enjoy, Tony *www.WordArticles.com "Peter T. Daniels" wrote in ... I still wish someone would explain _why_ I should install SP2, which is still sitting there in "Available Updates" labeled "important." What does it do?

One of the other work arounds is to save the document/template in Word 2003 ".doc" ".dot" format. It seems like it's only the Word 2007 document formats (docx, docm, dotx and dotm) that are affected. I realise that this impractical for many organisations. Could someone with the appropriate Microsoft contacts keep this tread updated so that we're aware of when a fix (other than removing KB969604) is available to this issue. Many thanks to all - Peter Hewett--- |
