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
