Or will there be an SP2A that fixes the problem in the first place?
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.

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?
Then I would of course immediately install the hotfix.
Or will there be an SP2A that fixes the problem in the first place?

Note, however, that the hotfix does not "fix" any variables that have

Peter, you missed Graham Mayor's posts in this thread on 2 July:

Now tested - and it does appear to fix the problem with the variables.

I'm not sure what other information is available for this. 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-
