From: Graham Mayor on 19 May 2010 10:33 It was around August last year. I can't recall all the details, but the problem came with a security update - KB969604 - which I understand was later fixed. However uninstalling the above update and telling the update installer not to put it back should fix it. -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> "smile8691" <smile8691(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B2FC45EC-3350-4FC0-827D-134C9D31561A(a)microsoft.com... > When was it fixed?
